Alstroemeria, also known as the Peruvian lily, is a genus of flowering plants in the family Alstroemeriaceae. It is native to South America, but has been introduced to other parts of the world as an ornamental plant.
While Alstroemeria is not typically considered to be toxic to cats, it can cause gastrointestinal upset in some animals. Symptoms of Alstroemeria poisoning in cats can include vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and lethargy. In severe cases, Alstroemeria poisoning can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.
If you believe your cat has eaten an Alstroemeria plant, it is important to contact your veterinarian immediately. Your veterinarian will be able to assess the severity of your cat’s symptoms and recommend the appropriate treatment.
In most cases, treatment for Alstroemeria poisoning in cats is supportive and includes measures to prevent dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Your veterinarian may also recommend giving your cat a bland diet for a few days to help settle their stomach.
With prompt treatment, most cats who have eaten an Alstroemeria plant will make a full recovery.
