With Valentine’s Day approaching, most pet parents know the danger chocolate poses to dogs, but this is a reminder that certain flowers can also be extremely toxic to your pets. Some of the more popular holiday varieties include:

Lilies (all varieties): Kidney failure in cats 🐈

Chrysanthemums (Daisy/Mum): Vomiting, diarrhea, hypersalivation, incoordination, or dermatitis in cats and dogs 🐈🐕

Baby’s Breath: GI upset such as vomiting and diarrhea in both cats and dogs 🐈🐕

Daffodils: Small ingestions can cause GI upset. Large ingestions cause convulsions, low blood pressure, tremors and cardiac arrhythmias in both cats and dogs. Bulbs are the most poisonous part. 🐈🐕

Tulips: Vomiting, depression, diarrhea, hypersalivation in cats and dogs. Highest concentration of toxin in bulb. 🐈🐕

Roses: Although the petals are non-toxic, the thorns can be dangerous if your pet steps on or swallows the stem! 🐈🐕

If you suspect your pet has consumed toxic flowers or plants immediately contact your nearest ER right away. You can also connect with the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435.

First Coast Veterinary Specialist and Emergency is available 24 hours a day/7 days a week.

Is your cat in pain? Cats will often hide the fact that they are in pain and are often more difficult to read than dogs. Our feline family members will show us how they feel through behavior changes. Here are some signs of pain in cats:

✅ Reduced activity
✅ Loss of appetite
✅ Quiet/loss of curiosity
✅ Changes in urinary/defecation habits
✅ Hiding, hissing, spitting
✅ Lack of agility/jumping
✅ Excessive licking/grooming
✅ Stiff posture/gait
✅ Guarding behavior
✅ Lack of grooming/matted fur
✅ Tail flicking
✅ Weight loss

If your cat displays any of these symptoms, contact your primary care veterinarian as soon as possible.

While pets have fur, which provides some natural protection, their ears and nose are still exposed and susceptible to mosquito bites.

When bitten, dogs and cats experience the same irritation and scratching humans do, however, mosquitoes can also carry harmful parasites and diseases like heartworm disease.

Don’t be tempted to use human protection products on your pet, ensure you use pet-friendly options. Be sure to consult with your primary care veterinarian to find the best preventative option for your pets.

REMINDER! Mosquitoes can get in the house and bite your indoor cats as well. This can lead to heartworm disease, which can be fatal in cats. While less common, it's still a risk and cats should be on year-round heartworm prevention.
