Gymnocalycium is toxic to cats. If your cat has eaten Gymnocalycium, you should follow these steps immediately:

  1. Call your veterinarian. This is the most important step. Your veterinarian will be able to provide you with specific instructions on what to do and may need to see your cat for treatment.
  2. Induce vomiting. If your cat has eaten Gymnocalycium within the past 2 hours, you may be able to induce vomiting. To do this, give your cat 1 tablespoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide per 10 pounds of body weight. Do not give your cat more than 3 doses of hydrogen peroxide.
  3. Give your cat activated charcoal. Activated charcoal can help to absorb the toxins in Gymnocalycium. To give your cat activated charcoal, mix 1 tablespoon of activated charcoal with 1 cup of water. Give your cat 1-2 tablespoons of the mixture every 2-4 hours.
  4. Monitor your cat closely. Watch for signs of poisoning, such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and seizures. If you notice any of these signs, take your cat to the veterinarian immediately.

Prevention is the best way to keep your cat safe from Gymnocalycium poisoning. Keep Gymnocalycium out of your cat’s reach, and never give your cat any part of the plant to eat.
