Most owners probably won’t purposefully feed their Aegean or other feline friend garlic and onions intentionally. However, you never know when your cat is going to decide to hang out with you in the kitchen and wait for the perfect moment to still some of your cooking ingredients. Garlic, onions, scallions, etc. contain toxins that can damage a cat’s red blood cells if large quantities are ingested. It may be rare for your Aegean to eat enough to do any damage, but be aware that these compounds can also be found in softer forms like onion soup mix or garlic powder. Exposure to these can also put cats at risk to toxicosis. Symptoms such as weakness or dark urine may not occur until three to five days later. If your Aegean has eaten any of the items mentioned or is showing symptoms please call your vets Louisville KY.
