Is Schefflera toxic to cat?
Do not let your cat chew on the moderately toxic schefflera. A toxin is found in every part of the plant and will cause your cat to experience excessive drooling, oral burning, vomiting, and difficulty swallowing. Cats usually make a full recovery but it's best to contact your veterinarian for advice on how to help relieve your cat's discomfort.
Is Schefflera toxic to dog?
Members of the Schefflera genus are mildly to highly toxic to dogs. Calcium oxalate crystals are found in all parts of the schefflera. Calcium oxalate causes irritation and burning around the mouth and throat when ingested. This, in turn, often leads to difficulty swallowing and a lack of appetite. Vomiting and diarrhea may follow. In extreme cases, when very large quantities are eaten, kidney failure, coma, or death can occur - thankfully, because these plants are immediately distasteful to dogs, they rare eat more than a little bit.
