Is Scindapsus toxic to cat?
Several plants of the Scindapsus genus contain calcium oxalate crystals which are moderately poisonous to cats. Ingestion or contact with broken leaves, stems, or roots can release these crystals onto skin and mucous membranes. This can cause swelling and burning of the mouth, tongue, and lips, vomiting, drooling, and difficulty swallowing. The swelling has the potential to create problems for breathing or swallowing, so contact your veterinarian.
Is Scindapsus toxic to dog?
Species of the Scindapsus genus are mildly to moderately toxic to dogs. All parts of scindapsus plants contain calcium oxalate crystals. Ingestion of these crystals often causes irritation or swelling around the mouth and throat, which is usually accompanied by difficulty swallowing, pawing at the mouth, excessive drooling, vomiting, or diarrhea. If severe versions of these reactions occur, you should seek veterinary treatment. Thankfully, strong reactions are unusual, as these plants are so distasteful that dogs don't eat much of them.
