Cattleya is a genus of orchids. Orchids are generally not toxic to cats, but some species can cause stomach upset if ingested. If your cat has eaten a Cattleya orchid, it is important to monitor them for any signs of illness.
Symptoms of orchid toxicity in cats can include:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Lethargy
- Loss of appetite
- Tremors
- Seizures
If your cat is experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to take them to a veterinarian immediately.
Treatment for orchid toxicity in cats will depend on the severity of the symptoms. In most cases, treatment will involve supportive care, such as providing fluids and electrolytes to prevent dehydration. In some cases, medication may be necessary to control vomiting or diarrhea.
Prevention is the best way to protect your cat from orchid toxicity. Keep orchids out of reach of your cat, and supervise them if they are allowed to be in the same room with orchids.
