貓咪可能出現的症狀

由嚴重到輕微排列。

1. 1
   顫抖、震顫、抽搐和倒地不起 Not explicitly specified in the sources. · These represent extreme, life-threatening stages of essential oil poisoning.
2. 2
   肝衰竭和嚴重的器官受損 Not explicitly specified in the sources. · Because cats lack the ability to safely process the volatile compounds in essential oils, severe systemic accumulation can ultimately lead to liver failure and death.
3. 3
   過度流口水與嘔吐 Not explicitly specified in the sources. · Because cats are highly cleanly animals, they will often ingest toxic oils by licking them off their fur if they accidentally brush against them. They may also be poisoned by directly drinking the liquid out of reed diffusers.
4. 4
   步態不穩，像是喝醉一樣（共濟失調） Not explicitly specified in the sources. · A clear indicator of systemic neurological disruption caused by the essential oil.
5. 5
   嗜睡、憂鬱或精神沉鬱 Not explicitly specified in the sources. · If a cat exhibits these signs after potential exposure, a vet should be contacted immediately, even if no other severe symptoms have appeared yet.
6. 6
   呼吸困難或開口呼吸 Not explicitly specified in the sources. · While toxic effects from passive inhalation are generally rare if the oils are heavily diluted, the risk of severe respiratory distress increases significantly if the cat is exposed to nebulized or ultrasonically diffused "neat" (undiluted) essential oils, or if the cat has pre-existing conditions like asthma.
7. 7
   皮膚紅腫、疼痛及化學性灼傷 Not explicitly specified in the sources. · Caused by direct skin contact. Importantly, even if there is no visible damage to the skin, owners should not assume the cat is safe, as the toxic oil can still be absorbed transdermally.

重要提醒

伊蘭（Cananga odorata）是一種常用來製作精油的植物。這種精油對貓有很強的毒性，絕對不應該在牠們身上或周圍環境使用。貓的肝臟缺乏特定的酵素，無法有效分解精油中的芳樟醇（linalool）和乙酸芐酯（benzyl acetate）等成分。 貓咪可能因為吸入擴香儀的香氣、皮膚接觸或舔到精油而中毒。這些有毒成分會在貓體內累積，導致神經系統問題，例如走路不穩、癲癇，並可能引發嚴重的肝損傷。由於精油濃度非常高，即使少量也極其危險。 中毒症狀包括流口水、嘔吐、看似醉酒或搖晃、顫抖及呼吸困難。如果您懷疑貓咪接觸到任何形式的伊蘭精油，這屬於緊急醫療情況。請立即聯絡獸醫或急診動物醫院。

• 有毒化合物：精油中的牻牛兒烯、乙酸苄酯、苯甲酸甲酯以及其他揮發性倍半萜和酯類化合物
• 機制：貓缺乏有效代謝這些化合物所需的肝臟葡萄糖醛酸轉移酶 (hepatic glucuronidase)；蓄積會導致消化系統和神經系統影響
• 症狀：嘔吐、流口水、虛弱、步態不穩（共濟失調）、呼吸困難；吸入可能導致呼吸道刺激
• 即使沒有直接接觸，在密閉房間內使用精油擴香儀仍具重大風險
• 請勿在貓身上或附近使用依蘭精油；擴香儀僅限在貓無法進入且通風良好的區域使用
