Monitor your cat:
- Observe your cat for any symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy.
Contact a veterinarian:
- Call your veterinarian immediately if you notice any unusual symptoms. Mangoes can be toxic to cats in large amounts due to the presence of a compound called cyanogenic glycosides, which can release cyanide when digested.
Treatment:
- If your veterinarian diagnoses mango toxicity, they may recommend the following treatments:
- Inducing vomiting if ingested within the last few hours
- Administering activated charcoal to absorb toxins
- Providing intravenous fluids to prevent dehydration
- Monitoring for kidney and liver function
Prevention:
- Keep mangoes and other potentially toxic foods out of reach of your cat.
- If you have a mango tree in your yard, be aware that cats may be attracted to the ripe fruit.
- Supervise your cat during outdoor time to prevent them from eating mangoes.
