Hello, I was applying some callus remover to my heels when Zeus came out of no where and sniffed my feet.. he then began snorting and before he could lick his lips immediately rinsed his nose off. I don’t think He got any of the solution on his nose. I just freak out that he might’ve. So I rinsed and dried him off. He seems fine. No vomiting, eating and drinking normally. Nose looks normal. The solution does smell kinda strong and I thought he was upstairs. Will he be okay?

Hello. He will be just fine. Poor Zeus, his sense of smell is so much better than ours that one good whiff was enough to just about knock him off his feet. But he will be fine. Even if he managed to lick a tiny amount, I would not be worried one bit. He will definitely be okay. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
