With the recent pet food scare, you may be wondering how to spot Aflotoxin poisoning in your pet. The symptoms of Aflotoxin poisoning are easy to spot. However, if your cat shows any of the symptoms below, contact your veterinarian immediately. When spotted early, Aflotoxin poisoning can be treated.

    Discolored Excrement

  1. The most obvious and severe symptom of Aflotoxin is discolored body excrement. Discolored urine and bloody diarrhea are both signs of Aflotoxin poisoning.
  2. Fever

  3. Like with humans, when your cat's body comes into contact with a foreign product, like poison, the body will try to fight it off, causing a fever.
  4. Loss of Appetite

  5. Because most Alfotoxin poisoning comes from food, Alfotoxin can make your cat sick to his stomach, making him not want to eat.
  6. Jaundice

  7. Because of the amount of poison running through your cats body, he may show symptoms of jaundice. Watch for any yellowing of your pet's skin or eyes.
  8. Fatigue

  9. Cats who have Aflotoxin poisoning are often more tired and sluggish than usual. If your cat hasn't moved in hours, and that's unusual behavior, check for the other symptoms.
