Delphiniums are highly toxic to cats and can cause severe illness or even death. If your cat has eaten any part of a delphinium plant, you should seek veterinary attention immediately.
Symptoms of delphinium poisoning in cats can include:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Tremors
- Seizures
- Respiratory distress
- Cardiac arrhythmias
- Death
The prognosis for delphinium poisoning in cats depends on the amount of plant material ingested and the severity of the symptoms. Treatment typically involves supportive care, such as IV fluids, anti-emetics, and pain relievers. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the toxic plant material from the stomach or intestines.
If you suspect that your cat has eaten a delphinium plant, it is important to seek veterinary attention immediately. Early diagnosis and treatment can improve the chances of a successful outcome.
