Mushrooms can be poisonous to cats, so it’s important to take action immediately if you suspect your cat ate the mushroom.
Symptoms to Watch For:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Tremors
- Seizures
- Respiratory distress
- Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
What to Do:
1. Keep your cat calm and call your veterinarian immediately:
2. If possible, take a photo of the mushroom or bring it with you to the veterinarian’s office:
This will help them identify the type of mushroom and determine the appropriate treatment.
3. Induce vomiting if instructed by your veterinarian:
Do not induce vomiting if your cat is unconscious or seizing. To induce vomiting, follow these steps:
- Mix 1 tablespoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide with 1 tablespoon of water.
- Draw up the solution into a syringe or dropper.
- Gently insert the syringe or dropper into your cat’s mouth and squirt the solution onto the back of their tongue.
- Repeat if necessary, but do not exceed 2-3 attempts.
4. Monitor your cat’s condition:
If your cat’s symptoms worsen or do not improve, seek emergency veterinary care immediately.
5. Follow your veterinarian’s instructions for treatment:
Depending on the type of mushroom ingested, treatment may include:
- Activated charcoal to absorb toxins
- Intravenous fluids to support hydration
- Medications to manage symptoms
- Liver function monitoring
Prevention:
- Keep mushrooms out of reach of your cat.
- Do not let your cat roam in areas where mushrooms are present.
- If you see your cat eating a mushroom, remove it from their mouth and call your veterinarian immediately.
Remember, acting quickly can save your cat’s life.
