My cat ate Aloe Vera - what should I do?

Aloe vera

Potentially toxic

Contact your veterinarian or an animal poison-control resource now, especially if any amount was chewed or swallowed.

Safety verdict

Consulted references classify the plant as toxic or irritating for that pet type.

Signs to watch for

Vomiting, lethargy, diarrhea, tremors and change in urine color from anthraquinone latex under the leaf skin.

Escalation note

Gel interior is much less risky than the whole leaf. Treat chewed whole leaves as a veterinary concern.
