Toxic Plants: Daffodil

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.

Daffodil

Daffodils are the harbinger of Spring. Most of us would never let our beautiful kitties near these pretty flowers, but when our backs are turned, we don't always know what our kitties get up to. Daffodils are toxic to both cats and dogs with the bulbs being the most toxic part. Symptoms of your cat ingesting these pretty flowers are vomiting, salvation and diarrhea. If your cat has ingested large amounts of these toxins, symptoms are as strong as convulsions, low blood pressure, tremors and cardiac arrhythmia.

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

Tune in next Thursday for more information on toxic plants.
