Dekopon (also known as Sumo Citrus) is generally not considered toxic to cats. However, it can cause some digestive upset depending on the amount consumed. Here's what you should do:
- Monitor your cat for signs of distress: Vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or loss of appetite are all signs that your cat may not be feeling well.
- Contact amount consumed: If your cat only ate a small amount of the dekopon, they will likely be fine. If they ate a significant amount, especially the rind, then it is best to consult a veterinarian.
- Consider inducing vomiting: Only attempt this if instructed by a veterinarian. Giving your cat a few teaspoons of hydrogen peroxide orally may induce vomiting. This should only be done if the dekopon was ingested within the last 2 hours.
- Veterinarian: If you are concerned about the amount of dekopon your cat ingested or if they are showing signs of distress, err on the side of caution and contact your veterinarian immediately.
