Hi! I'm looking for commentary from a U.S.-based veterinarian on the risks of poinsettias for cats.
Questions include:
1. What immediate steps should pet parents take if they suspect their cat has ingested part of a poinsettia?
2. When should they contact a veterinarian or the Pet Poison Helpline?
3. Does this typically warrant veterinary treatment? (If so, what does it usually consist of?) How can pet parents treat/monitor their pet at home?
4. How can pet parents prevent further exposure to poinsettias? (Especially during the holidays.)
*Please note: Only original responses from U.S.-based veterinarians will be considered; I'm unable to interview any spokespeople for competing pet brands or use AI-generated responses from sources.
