Toxic Plants: Eucalyptus

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.

Eucalyptus
 
Neither Eucalyptus trees nor Eucalyptus oil that can be extracted from the leaves is Poisonous. However it does contain some toxins which can cause acute gastric problems if ingested. Signs of your cat having ingesting Eucalyptus are vomiting, salvation, diarrhea, depression and weakness.

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

Tune in next Thursday for more information on toxic plants.
