My kitten ate my medication. How long until symptoms appear?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 6.5 lbs

My 5 month old male kitten (6.5.pounds)may or may not have gotten hold of one of my Linsinopril 20 mg tablets that I dropped. This was about 60 minutes ago. I cannot count pills as I had combined 2 bottles. He seems fine right now and I looked up the symptoms, but I need to know how long until symptoms would appear. Thank you!!!

If Bailey ate one or more of your Linsinopril tablets I recommend you contact the pet poison helpline at the following link right away https://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/ . They can guide you as to when to look out for symptoms and if Bailey needs to see a vet immediately, or if it is okay to monitor him. Good luck to you both! I hope he's okay!
