My cat ​​ate an “Hiyuna”. What should I do?

What is a “Hiyuna”?

“Hiyuna” is not a known term in English. It’s possible that you meant to type “hydrangea,” which is a common flowering plant.

If Your Cat Ate Hydrangeas

Hydrangeas contain a toxic compound called cyanogenic glycosides. When ingested, these compounds can break down into hydrogen cyanide, which is poisonous to cats. Symptoms of hydrangea poisoning can include:

  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Seizures
  • Tremors
  • Weakness
  • Death

What to Do

If you think your cat has eaten hydrangeas, take the following steps immediately:

  1. Call your veterinarian or emergency animal clinic. Describe the situation and get instructions.
  2. Identify the plant. If possible, take a sample of the plant with you to the vet.
  3. Induce vomiting. If instructed by your vet, you may need to force your cat to vomit to remove the toxins.
  4. Give activated charcoal. Activated charcoal can absorb toxins and prevent further absorption into the bloodstream.
  5. Monitor your cat closely. Watch for any symptoms of poisoning and contact your vet immediately if they occur.

Treatment

Treatment for hydrangea poisoning depends on the severity of the symptoms. It may include:

  • Intravenous fluids
  • Antidotes
  • Oxygen therapy
  • Supportive care (e.g., anti-nausea medication, pain relievers)

Prevention

To prevent your cat from eating hydrangeas, keep them out of your home and garden. If you have existing hydrangeas, supervise your cat closely when they are outside.
