Dylan's been sick again

[Phoenix]

Dinner time today Dylan decided to eat some plants (NOT lilies luckily) but so far he's been sick twice, once inside and once (at least) outside.

One of the plants is a purpley colour one - tiny purple flowers (couldn't tell if it was the flowers that Dylan ate or the leaves) and the other one's white - big flowers (have next to no knowledge about plants):oops:

Dylan doesn't seem to be ill apart from the vomiting and walking around hanging his head like he wants to be sick :(, do you think he'll be OK? He's wowwing a lot as well (like his nickname suggests - Sir Wowwalot) nothing else abnormal so at the moment we're just watching him.

Are purple flowers and white flowers poisonous? (don't know what the plants are called)

Would really need to know what the plants are to no if they are toxic or not for cats. Many common plants both indoor and outdoor are toxic so it is very possible. This is the reason I don't have any plants in the house. Better safe than sorry especially with the predisposition to eat plants that cats seem have!!

Try looking on a plant suppliers website at pics of plants to try and find out the plants names. Or maybe if you post some pics on here someone may recognise them.

The white flower looks like a chrysanthemum, can't quite see the blue ones, isn't that a label RCR???

[Phoenix]

He's eaten a little bit just now and has so far kept it down ...

He's sat behind me purring at the moment.

I check all plants I buy for warning labels about cats as a matter of course.

Angie that is a label but can't read what the plant is on it :roll:

He's carefully washing his rear now.

Chrysanthemums. The leaves and stem are the toxic part to cats = these clinical symptoms: "Ingestion results in vomiting, diarrhea, depression, drooling and lack of appetite

Thatnks for that CM, we'll have to watch Dylan tonight :shock: don't know which part it was he chewed :shock:

Do you have access to an emergency vet service? I'd be inclined to phone and ask for advice. If you have to take him down, take the plants with you.

Don't want to panic you - it depends how much he's eaten and whether he's vomited it all up.

Is the small blue one a Campanula? If it is they are not poisonous.

He completely emptied his stomach angie both on the carpet and outside)

There's no emergency vet service here :( (too small a vet practice)

[angieh]

Doesn't look right for a campanula ............. need a bigger photo of the flowers, the leaves look a bit like a Hebe ....

A camsomelongword, couldn't read the whole label :oops:

He's sat on the printer now going "Stroke Me!"

[angieh]

It's probably a good thing he's been so sick RCR. Keep a good eye on him - I know you will. Poor Dylan. It worries me, as Pip is such a vacuum ........

Can you just type what you can read of the label RCR ..... we can search on whatever you have.

If he's off colour tomorrow I'll get straight on the phone to the vets. First thing when they open.

All I can read of the label is "camp" :roll:

[angieh]

Could be Campanula then, does it look like this???

Yes that's it angie.

Sir's just had a tiny bit of wet food (didn't want to give him too much)

[Phoenix]

Sat up with him until 2am when he decided it was time to turn into a hoover again and guzzle down any cat food he could find :roll:

He perked up round about 1:30 am and decided he wanted to sleep in his hidey hole in the bathroom, then Granny's bed, then my bed for about 30 seconds, then off somewhere else again.

He's begging to have his tummy rubbed now so think he's feeling a lot better after being sick last night :D

[angieh]

Glad you think he's OK RCR - what a worry! Keep him away from that chrysanthemum!

[Andrewd]

glad hes getting better :)

[Phoenix]

We'll be keeping him well away from the plants angie :D :D

[dandysmom]

Glad he seems to e OK now.

[Aquatic]

I'm glad that he is better. :-D:D
