Echinacea
SûrVerdict
Generally safe — not on the ASPCA's toxic plant list, though large amounts may cause mild stomach upset.
Verdict
Echinacea (purple coneflower) is not listed as toxic to cats by the ASPCA. It's sometimes included in herbal supplements marketed for immune support in pets, though there's limited veterinary evidence for its effectiveness in cats. Eating the fresh plant, or a large amount of a concentrated supplement, can cause mild digestive upset in some cats.
Symptômes à surveiller
- • mild vomiting or diarrhea with large amounts
Que faire
No emergency treatment needed for a small amount of the plant. If considering an echinacea supplement, check with a vet first — human dosing doesn't translate to cats.
