My cat bit socks with Clorox. What should I do if he seems okay now?

Question

So my cat was biting my socks that have a small amount of Clorox on them.!!!!!what do I do ? He looks and seems to be okay. I tried to clean his mouth with water that all he let me do. I took the socks right away from him but he still did have them in his mouth. Please help! Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 9 months and 24 days old | 10 lbs

I assume you mean liquid Clorox bleach. If it was only a small amount that was soaked into the sock and if Chandler is acting fine, you are probably ok as it’s unlikely he ingested much if any. When pets ingest bleach, it causes chemical burns in the mouth and upper GI tract. Checks his lips, mouth and tongue (as best you can) for any redness or peeling/bleeding, monitor him for not eating well or vomiting. If you see anything, take him to the vet right away. You can also give him a couple tablespoons of milk as this will help to neutralize any bleach he may have ingested - be advised it could also cause soft stool. When in doubt, have him seen. I hope though everything is fine and that you found this helpful. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
