What is Tea Tree Oil Poisoning in Cats about?
This document summarizes a case report of tea tree oil poisoning in three purebred cats. The cats were treated with tea tree oil to eliminate fleas, which resulted in toxicity symptoms within hours. One cat died. Tea tree oil contains terpenes that are toxic and readily absorbed through the skin and digestive tract. While not previously fatal in animals, the cats exhibited symptoms consistent with tea tree oil poisoning such as neurological depression and elevated liver enzymes.
