Cats have difficulty breaking down terpenes!
The main problem for cats with many CBD products that are not specifically designed for them is the processing of terpenes.
Cats' metabolism can only break down and excrete these substances very slowly.
This can lead to gradual poisoning, which becomes noticeable in some animals sooner or later.
That's why you shouldn't just give a cat a regular CBD product!
The danger exists not only with artificial flavorings, but also with natural terpenes that occur in plants.
TERPENE POISONING CAN KILL THE CATS!
Terpene poisoning in cats is a serious problem that should not be underestimated.
Typical signs include motor disorders, increased drooling as well as restlessness and disorientation in the cat.
Symptoms of terpene poisoning include:
- motor disorders
- Drooling
- unrest
- disorientation
- Vomit
- diarrhea
- Tremble
- rapid weight loss
If you suspect poisoning by terpenes, you must urgently consult the veterinarian, otherwise the cat is in danger!
