Oliver may be ok. Sometimes animals will get a gastrointestinal upset from eating something other than cat food. Oliver can develop pancreatitis from this also. I would monitor him and if Oliver develops any diarrhea or vomiting I would recommend seeing a veterinarian. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
