Steps to Take if Your Cat Ate Nerine:
1. Contact a Veterinarian Immediately:
Call your veterinarian or the nearest animal emergency clinic for immediate assistance. Time is crucial in treating Nerine poisoning.
2. Induce Vomiting (Only if Instructed by a Veterinarian):
If your veterinarian advises it, induce vomiting by administering 2-3 teaspoons of 3% hydrogen peroxide diluted with water. Repeat every 10-15 minutes for up to 2 hours.
3. Absorb Toxins:
Give your cat activated charcoal to absorb any remaining Nerine in the stomach. Follow your veterinarian’s instructions for dosage and administration.
4. Fluids and Electrolytes:
Administer fluids and electrolytes to prevent dehydration and electrolyte imbalances caused by vomiting and diarrhea. You can use an electrolyte solution or unflavored Pedialyte.
5. Monitor Symptoms:
Monitor your cat for any changes in symptoms. Report any new or worsening symptoms to your veterinarian immediately.
6. Treatment:
Treatment for Nerine poisoning may include:
- Anti-nausea medication
- Antidiarrheal medication
- Intravenous fluids
- Blood transfusions in cases of severe anemia
- Supportive care (e.g., oxygen therapy)
7. Prognosis:
The prognosis for Nerine poisoning depends on the amount ingested, the time elapsed before treatment, and the cat’s overall health. With prompt and aggressive treatment, most cats can make a full recovery.
Additional Notes:
- Nerines are toxic to all parts of the cat’s body.
- Ingestion of even a small amount can be fatal.
- If you suspect your cat has eaten Nerine, do not wait for symptoms to appear. Contact your veterinarian immediately.
- It is essential to keep Nerines and other toxic plants out of reach of cats.
