It’s not only scented lights. What are even known to poison animals include essential oils of special oak, lemon, wood, ylang ylang, mint, cardamom, cloves, eucalyptus and tea tree. And since we are n’t positive of any feline- helpful essential oils, it is best never to fire, spread, paint or vaporise any in their culture, advised Dr Tong.
Usually, animals come into contact with important lubricants through metabolism, she said. When inhaled, the vapours may aggravate a person’s respiratory system and make them ill or troubled. Important oil vapours can even get on the cat’s coat and getting ingested during self- grooming, she added. Essential oils cannot be metabolized by cats because their livers lack an enzyme.
Signs that your cat needs the vet’s attention right away include a watery nose or eyes, drooling and/or vomiting, and difficulty breathing, said Dr Tong. ” Difficulty in breathing in a cat is evidenced by laboured breathing, fast breathing, panting, coughing or wheezing”.
