What to Do if Your Cat Ate a Mosengoke:
If your cat has ingested a mosengoke (also known as a black charcoal tree), take the following steps immediately:
1. Call Your Veterinarian:
- Contact your veterinarian as soon as possible to inform them of the situation. They will provide specific instructions based on the severity of your cat’s condition.
2. Induce Vomiting (Only if Instructed by Your Veterinarian):
- If instructed by your veterinarian, you may induce vomiting to remove the plant material from your cat’s stomach. Use hydrogen peroxide (3% solution) at a dosage of 1 mL per 5 pounds of body weight. Give it orally with a dropper or syringe. Repeat the dosage after 15 minutes if your cat has not vomited.
3. Monitor Your Cat:
- Observe your cat for any symptoms of poisoning, such as:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Seizures
- Difficulty breathing
- Lethargy or weakness
4. Take Your Cat to the Veterinarian:
- If your cat exhibits any symptoms of poisoning or if you are concerned about their condition, take them to your veterinarian immediately for further treatment.
Additional Tips:
- Keep your cat away from all mosengoke plants.
- Remove any parts of the plant that are accessible to your cat.
- Wash your hands thoroughly after handling your cat or any mosengoke material.
- Seek emergency medical attention if your cat experiences severe symptoms or if you are unable to contact your veterinarian.
