Lionfish lair

[kodama16]

hey guys do you know if Lionfish Lair is still active? I don’t see any new updates on the Facebook page or website. Didn’t know if he was still active here.

 

[JaimeAdams]

It is a she and I have not seen her active for awhile.

Ahh didn’t know it was a she. Look like she had good resources.

 

[Goodair]

Definitely is a great resource. Hopefully she becomes more active or has other members help out.

I still refer to her website pretty regularly. Lots of great info there.

Does anyone know how dangerous lionfish sting would be to a cat? I have a Savannah "kitten," (she's already 12 lbs) that I have a feeling will jump into the tank at least once or twice, before she learns. Even with a cover, I think she may get in there.

I was considering getting a Radiata for the tank, but it may not be worth the risk. I asked my vet, but she was fairly stumped; said she would look into it more. There's nothing I can find online either.

I know that it's probably a silly question, thought I'd throw it out there though.

I have no clue for cats but I know dogs have more resistance to it than humans.

Welcome back! ;Woot

I don't know the answer to the kitty question. I've actually never heard of one being stung.

Oh glad to see ya back. Still have a tank running?

Running, yes. Anything in it, no. We're about to shut it down. It's hard to imagine for the first time in over 20 years I don't have fish.

Oh no! What happened?

What strain of Savannah? F1, 2, etc..?
You should start a thread about that beauty and tag me in it! Have been on the fence about one when something eventually happens to the pooch (Hopefully never! cause ill never find a better dog)
Would love to follow some progression on one and how you handle training and such.

From what I'm reading Benadryl is a good starting point for the Lionfish sting, and cats can have Benadryl. It would at least buy you time until you can get her to a vet and would reduce any swelling. Its what is recommended for scorpion stings, bee stings, and other venom that cats run into. I would keep some on hand along with the Benadryl dosing amounts for various weights of cats. Those Savannah's get huge, congrats on your kitty! Maybe shut the cat out of that room when you can't be home to watch it, if that's an option.
