My cat ate anthurium but seems fine. Should I take him to the vet now?

After a couple days, there is no sense in taking him to the vet unless he is acting sick. Fortunately, Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum) toxicity isn’t as great as that of other types of lilies, including Easter lily and Asiatic lilies. The Peace lily, isn’t a true lily, so it doesn’t cause damage to the kidneys and liver like the other lillies do.

As long as she only got a tiny amount, there shouldn't be anything to worry about. However, these plants can cause gastrointestinal symptoms and burning or irritation in the mouth, along with breathing difficulty, coma, or even death, if a sufficient amount of leaves is ingested. Keep an eye on her, if she will let you look in her mouth, check for any irritation, if she starts displaying any adverse symptoms, such as drooling, vomiting, lethargy or loss of appetite, get her in to see your vet right away.

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center. Pothos plant can cause significant irritation to the mouth, esophagus and stomach. If Mooch has just eaten the leaf (in the last 30-60 min), you should rinse his mouth with water or offer him plenty of water to drink. If he is asymptomatic, you should monitor him at home. If he does not develop any worrying symptoms in the next 2-3hrs, it will mean that is fine. However, if you notice that Mooch is drooling, vomiting or finds it difficult to eat, you should take him to your local vets right away

Oh no, poor Sylar! If he's not pawing at his mouth or foaming anymore, I would keep an eye on him. It could be the pain from the spider caused that reaction. I would try to look up the spider on the internet to see if it is poisonous or not, and if it is, rush him into an ER vet now. While monitor him, if you see any swelling of the mouth, vomiting, foaming of the mouth, respiratory difficulties, or the bite in his mouth gets bigger, I would have him seen by a vet right away.

If Hiccup only bit it and didn't ingest any, he'll likely be OK. However, if you are concerned or know how much he ingested, you can contact the Pet Poison Helpline - https://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/ - (there is a fee for this service) to see if any action needs to be taken. If he does start showing any signs of illness such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, drooling, etc, seeking veterinary care immediately is best.

Oh naughty Bruce! Signs of toxicity from the jade plant include vomiting, depression, ataxia (loss of muscle control), and a slow heart rate. Signs of depression in a cat include lack of grooming, lethargy, changes in personality, aggression, increased periods of sleeping, and hiding. If you are seeing any of these signs in Bruce, you need to take him into a vet immediately. Should he not be showing any of these signs eight hours after chewing on the plant, then you may be lucky and he should be ok. I would remove the jade plant from your home to prevent him from chewing on it again. Keep an eye on him for the next 24-48 hours, and if they pass without any symptoms of toxicity, then he should be fine.

If he is drinking water and eating fine, he is likely ok. If he is not eating or wanting to drink, he may have sustained burns in his mouth and in that case, I would have him examined by a veterinarian. However, I'm sure he will be fine. So keep a close eye on him and if you notice any changes, I would then take him in to be seen by a veterinarian. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
