Call your veterinarian immediately.
Hollyhocks are toxic to cats. Ingesting any part of the plant can cause:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Lethargy
- Drooling
- Tremors
- Seizures
- Death
The severity of symptoms depends on the amount of the plant ingested.
Treatment:
Your veterinarian will likely induce vomiting to remove any remaining plant material from your cat’s stomach. They may also give your cat activated charcoal to absorb any toxins that have been absorbed into the bloodstream.
Prevention:
Keep hollyhocks out of reach of your cat. If you have hollyhocks in your garden, supervise your cat when they are outside.
