It is not just the extreme heat of a Las Vegas summer that can be dangerous to a cat, but it is also the flowers and plants that are in or around a cat's home. Most cats avoid ingesting dangerous plants, but sometimes a cat will eat something that can make them ill. It takes a veterinarian in Las Vegas to truly understand the medical issues a cat in this area might face.
Some popular Las Vegas houseplants and garden plants include azaleas, sago palms, castor bean plants, oleander and lilies. In many cases it only takes a cat ingesting a tiny seed or two before they can become ill. If you suspect that your cat has eaten something that is making it ill, you should contact our cat hospital right away and one of our cat vets will advise you.
Signs Your Cat May Have Eaten Something Toxic
Cats can react differently depending on how much of a poisonous plant or flower they might have eaten. Symptoms can range from drooling, diarrhea, vomiting and excessive thirst. In severe cases your pet may have seizures, tremors or weakness.
Our cat vets will do everything they can to answer all your questions and give the very best care to your pet. If your cat is showing any unusual symptoms or behaving oddly, it is best to call our cat hospital and we can advise you on what the best course of action would be.
If you are going on holiday, consider our cat boarding facilities instead of leaving your cat at home alone where she might get into mischief. We will take excellent care of your pet while they are visiting with us.
Of course the best way to prevent accidental ingestion of toxic plants by your cat is to not keep them around. You could also consider keeping the plants out of reach, or fencing them off from your cat.
Do you have any other suggestions on how to keep cats away from potentially dangerous plants or flowers?
