🚨 What to Do If Your Cat Eats This Plant

If your cat ingests yew:

  1. Remove any remaining plant material from your cat's mouth.
  2. Rinse the mouth thoroughly with cool water.
  3. Offer a small amount of water or milk to help flush the system.
  4. Monitor for symptoms and contact your veterinarian if they persist or worsen.
  5. Do not induce vomiting unless specifically instructed by your vet.

Prevention:

  • Keep Yew out of reach of curious cats
  • Consider placing in hanging baskets or high shelves
  • Provide cat-safe alternatives like cat grass or catnip
