===============================================

Botulism is a bacterial toxin that can cause severe paralysis and even death. If botulism is suspected, take your cat to a veterinarian very once.


Botulism is a dangerous kind of food poisoning caused by bacteria that develop when food decomposes, such as meat or plants. It has an effect on individuals who consume it by producing a strong toxin that damages various systems in the body. It is classified as an intoxication rather than an infection since the germs do not need to infect the host in order to induce severe symptoms, but rather are swallowed.

Botulism may harm a wide range of species, including humans, companion animals such as cats, farm animals, and wild animals. It is not infectious, although it can make many animals sick if they eat the same contaminated food. Cats are less prone to get botulism than other animals because they are pickier eaters and have a higher resistance to the disease.
