Kratom

Summary

Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is a plant whose active alkaloids — primarily mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine — act on opioid receptors and can cause dose-dependent toxic effects in both dogs and cats. In dogs, the most common signs include lethargy/sedation, vocalization, hypersalivation, and vomiting, with possible cardiovascular effects (tachycardia, bradycardia, hypertension) or stimulatory signs (hyperactivity, tremors, agitation) in more serious cases; in cats, lethargy, mydriasis, and vocalization are most frequently reported. Clinical signs can appear within a few hours of ingestion even at low doses and generally resolve within 24–48 hours, though severity varies with dose and individual animal sensitivity.
