寵物常喜歡用在後院找到的東西來「補充」牠們的飲食。眾所周知,貓咪有時會試吃蛞蝓;飼主事後往往會擔心,愛貓對這些黏滑生物的異常偏好是否會帶來健康風險。
蛞蝓本身通常不會對貓咪的消化系統造成重大問題–昆蟲及類似生物本就是貓科動物飲食的一部分。雖然蛞蝓無毒,但牠們分泌的黏液可能會讓您的貓咪流口水或嘔吐。
勤奮的園丁為了防止蛞蝓進入花園,可能會使這些黏滑生物對貓咪造成遠比平時更大的威脅。蛞蝓在被吃掉前吸收的毒藥,可能會對不幸吃下牠的貓咪造成健康危害。視所使用的驅蛞蝓藥劑而定,一隻蛞蝓不太可能造成嚴重後果。然而,若貓咪習慣食用中毒的蛞蝓,隨著毒素在體內累積,便可能面臨重大危險。
中毒症狀包括:

中毒症狀包括:
- 焦躁不安
- 流口水
- 肌肉顫抖與癲癇發作
- 心跳加速
- 體溫升高
食用蛞蝓還可能引發另一個問題:肺蟲。蛞蝓和蝸牛經常感染寄生性的肺蟲。若貓咪吃下受感染的蛞蝓,牠們也可能成為宿主。肺蟲會損害呼吸道,並干擾肺部組織中的黏液堆積,導致呼吸困難,嚴重時甚至可能致命。目前有供貓狗施打的肺蟲疫苗,可協助預防此問題。
讓您的貓咪待在室內,尤其是在雨後蛞蝓大量出沒、於花園中爬行時,基本上是防止有吃蛞蝓傾向的貓咪食用蛞蝓的唯一可靠方法。

they could die
Can the mucus from the slug cause swelling of the cats limbs?
My cat ate a slug and the next day he died
My cat just vomited a small slug should I be concerned?
My cat carried a slug in her month should I be concerned about that or no.
Mi gato se comio una babosa quiere vomitar pero no puede ... deberia de preocuparme ?
(My cat ate a slug he wants to vomit but he can not ... should I worry?)
My cat Huwcun died this morning after eating slugs
After falling asleep in leopard slug territory,my cat has been quite ill, seeming poisoned, after licking off the slime trail a slug left on her fur. Not sure if it was the slug slime...but guessing that is the problem.
My kitten chewed on a leopard slug last night. She had sticky goo all over her face this morning, in her mouth, on her fur and its all over the house. I cleaned her up best I could, she doesnt seem ill yet. Did you cat get better??
My cat eat a slug today and has been acting very lethargic breathing heavy and he's doing this weird thing with his right eye I'm very worried
la chimuela murio tras vomitar y espasmos, bajo mucho la temperatura de su cuerpo.
Got slug pellets cheep not put they down yet, a friend said they worked for her cats, not sure what to do
Es totalmente malo, perjudicial para un gato comer una babosa. Además la baba es muy difícil de quitar y pueden asfixiarse. Tengan mucho cuidado!
my 12 week old kitten just bit a slug I've cleaned her fear and got all the stuff out her mouth should I take her to the vets as she has had none of her jabs yet?
Help I live in a pretty old house and it just finished raining a ton so slugs are coming in and my cat was sniffing and touched one. I'm scared she's eaten one. She was also cleaning herself and cleaning the paw she touched the slug with. Should I be worried? I'm scared I really don't want anything to happen to her.
My cats carry slugs into the house on a routine basis. I hate it. I've even seen them eat a few.
They have no symptoms of illness, but I'm glad I learned about the possibility of lungworm, we'll make sure they are wormed regularly.
Salt works great. It disintegrate slugs. Just regular table salt, rock salt. I helped a cat that someone had left behind. He didn’t want to come inside. I was feeding and watering him on the porch. Man, do slugs love cat food or maybe they just like crawling all over the food leaving shiny trails of slug juice. I fixed that problem, I started feeding the cat in a SS gravy server. It is a metal bowl with a plate attached underneath. . Like a teacup and saucer, but attached and larger. I poured the dry cat food in the bowl part and salt all around the plate part. Never did the two ingredients meet. The cat was thrilled, I was thrilled for the cat, but it was a nasty looking mess that was really hard to get off and clean.
