Toxic Plants: Carnations

It's something that doesn't usually cross our minds, but some common plants in our houses and around our gardens are in fact toxic to our furry friends. 

 Carnations
The Carnation isn't the most poisonous flower, but with its popularity in floral arrangements you should really keep an eye open as it is mildly toxic to cats. When ingested carnations can cause vomiting, drooling, diarrhea and apetite loss. Just chewing the flowers may result in symptoms.

You should consult your vet immediately if you have any concerns. 

Tune in next Thursday for more information on toxic plants.
