Meyer lemons, like most citrus fruits, contain oils that are toxic to cats. The severity of the reaction depends on the amount of lemon ingested. Here's what you should do:
- Contact your veterinarian or a pet poison control center immediately. In the US, you can call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435. They are available 24/7 and can advise you on the best course of action based on your cat's condition.
- Observe your cat for any signs of illness. These can include vomiting, diarrhea, drooling, depression, lack of appetite, or skin irritation.
- Do not try to induce vomiting at home. This can be dangerous for cats, so leave it to the professionals.
- Gather information about the amount of lemon ingested. If possible, try to determine how much of the lemon your cat ate (flesh, rind, or both) and how long ago it happened. This information will be helpful for the veterinarian.
Remember: It's always better to be safe than sorry. Even if your cat seems fine now, it's important to consult with a veterinarian to ensure there are no delayed effects.
