Cats are curious animals and are often interested in things that move around them, such as moths, geckos, reptiles, etc. They even see cats eating geckos, and many shovelers are worried about it. So why do cats like to eat geckos? Is it harmful to eat geckos for cats? Next, let’s take a look at what happens when cats eat geckos.
1. Will cats get poisoned by eating geckos?
Cats get poisoned by eating geckos. First of all, geckos are not toxic themselves, and cats generally do not have abnormal symptoms after accidentally eating them. A few cats may experience symptoms such as vomiting due to their own physical fitness. Secondly, although geckos are not toxic, cats may be infected with some parasites after accidentally ingesting, so the owner needs to do a daily deworming work for the cat. Finally, it is recommended to do a good job of environmental sanitation to avoid cats from contact with other insects or small crawling objects.
2. What should the cat do if it eats a gecko?
Because the gecko itself is not toxic, the cat accidentally eats a gecko and will basically not cause poisoning. It is recommended that the owner observe the cat's condition first and seek medical treatment in time if there is abnormality.
1. If the cat's gastrointestinal function is relatively fragile, then accidentally eating a gecko may cause vomiting. In response to this situation, it is recommended to take the cat to the pet hospital for vomiting treatment immediately to prevent the gecko from continuously irritating the cat's stomach.
2. If a cat eats a dead gecko, it may cause a poisoning reaction because the gecko may die from rat poison. At this time, you need to take the cat to the pet hospital for treatment as soon as possible, as it may lead to death in severe cases. When raising, be careful not to let the cat eat dead animals.
III. Notes
Cats are actually curious animals. They like to eat some flying insects or animals. Therefore, for the sake of the health of the cat, the owner must clean the environment regularly to avoid cats from accidentally eating insects or animals. In addition, during the normal feeding process, do not let the cat eat food randomly, especially chocolate, onions, xylitol, grapes and other foods, otherwise it will cause the cat to experience acute poisoning reaction.
