My cat got too much Rescue Remedy. Is deep sleep normal? Is he okay?

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 7 months and 28 days old | 5 lbs

I gave my cat too many herbal drops (Bach's Rescue Remedy) because he was very restless. Now he is sleeping very soundly. So soundly I'm a bit worried. I checked online and found people saying horrible things about this stuff that I wish I had known sooner. Will he be ok?

While Rescue Remedy has not been tested properly for safety, it has been used for a while, and there haven't been any adverse side effects reported. Based on this, Milenko should be ok, but I would monitor him, and if he's still sleeping quite soundly by morning, I would take him into the vet. In the future, given that he seems to have a strong reaction to it, I would refrain from using it with Milenko.
