Yesterday I brought in a few leaves from a small tree to try to identify what it was . (A crabapple)
Tedy jumped up next to my computer and I thought he was sniffing the leaves. I shooed him away and didn't notice that he`d taken one...I found it mauled under the kitchen table later last evening.
This morning he`s acting nervous, vomited a small amount (clear and only once). he has had a little bit of diarrhea a few times and juts acts like he can`t get comfortable for very long.
He keeps licking his behind and will "Pose" , as if frozen in position at times....and he seems to be holding his tail sort of stiff-like at times.
He does respond to petting, but doesn't seem to want it for very long, as if it makes him more nervous.
He`s not drooling or having any kind of seizures and his eyes look bright, although "worried".
Is he just experiencing a mild distress with flu-like symptoms? (what I`m finding online indicates that he`d have had to consume a huge amount in order to be severe poisoning, which is usually only found in grazing animals such as cows, horses ...)
I hate seeing him like this. he`s usually so sweet and wanting to attention
Has anyone out there experienced something like this before?
I know that some plants (such as Easter Lilly) are highly poisonous to cats, but it sounds like chewing on a crabapple leaf will only cause mild poisoning and feel flu-like for a day or two....but I want to BE SURE...and there are quite a few Kitty-Experts here on The Cat Site.
Any info would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Thanks! Linda
