貓咪可能出現的症狀

由嚴重到輕微排列。

1. 1
   呼吸困難與上呼吸道腫脹 接觸後快速出現（隨組織腫脹發展） · This is a rarer but serious complication that occurs if the localized inflammation and swelling (edema) in the throat become severe enough to block the air passages.
2. 2
   興奮、神經性痙攣、抽搐，偶爾出現腦炎 來源未明確說明 · While plants containing insoluble oxalates typically only cause localized oral irritation, these specific, severe neurological signs have been reported specifically in cats after ingesting Philodendron species.
3. 3
   腎衰竭 來源未明確說明 · Although insoluble calcium oxalates are generally known as gastrointestinal irritants that do not cause systemic organ damage, the Merck Veterinary Manual explicitly notes that renal failure has been reported in cats following the ingestion of Philodendron.
4. 4
   口腔刺激、灼痛、用爪子抓嘴，舌頭與咽喉腫脹 立即（咀嚼或誤食時） · This is a direct physical reaction caused by sharp, needle-like insoluble calcium oxalate crystals penetrating the delicate mucous membranes of the mouth.
5. 5
   過度流口水（唾液分泌過多） 立即 · Drooling is triggered by the intense burning and irritation in the mouth; you may also notice the cat frantically pawing at its face due to the discomfort.
6. 6
   嘔吐、乾嘔與食慾下降 誤食後不久 · The cat's refusal to eat is largely due to the severe oral discomfort, while vomiting and retching are caused by the crystals physically irritating the gastrointestinal tract if swallowed.

重要提醒

銀點葛（Scindapsus pictus）是一種廣受歡迎的垂掛式室內植物，葉片上有獨特的銀色斑紋。它對貓有毒，應放置在貓接觸不到的地方，因為啃咬葉子或莖會立即引發明顯不適。 這種植物的組織中充滿了被稱為「不可溶草酸鈣」的針狀結晶。當貓咬下植物時，這些微小的尖銳晶體會刺入牠們的口腔、舌頭和喉嚨的軟組織，引起劇烈的刺激和灼熱感。這種物理性傷害是其毒性的主要原因。 症狀會立即出現，包括大量流口水、用爪子抓嘴、嘴唇或舌頭可見的腫脹，以及嘔吐。在嚴重的情況下，腫脹可能會阻塞呼吸道，導致呼吸困難。如果您懷疑您的貓啃咬了銀點葛，請聯絡獸醫尋求專業建議。

• 主要危害：葉子和莖中的不溶性草酸鈣針晶體，在被咀嚼時會立即刺激口腔和喉嚨。
• 症狀：突然口腔疼痛、大量流口水、用爪子抓嘴、嘴唇或舌頭腫脹、嘔吐與吞嚥困難。
• 暴露原因：垂吊藤蔓和銀色斑紋葉片容易被好奇的貓碰到或拍打。
• 處理方式：把植物移到貓碰不到的地方；若安全可行，提供清水或輕輕沖洗口腔。若出現腫脹、呼吸困難或反覆嘔吐，請聯絡獸醫。
