This likely won't be enough to cause Nala any problems, but I'd keep an eye on her to be safe. If you see vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, a loss of appetite, or any other worrying signs, take her into a vet immediately. I hope this helps.

My 16 lbs cat ate 15 dog chews of glucosamine 260 mg is he going to be ok
Simba may develop some stomach upset (vomiting and/or diarrhea). You may be able to manage it at home with a short fast followed by a bland diet fed in small, frequent amounts until symptoms resolve. Monitor for lethargy, loss of appetite, persistent vomiting or diarrhea and abdominal pain. These are symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian.

Hello so my elder cat stepped on my kitten’s foot. So she began limping. I pressed on her paw she wasn’t meowing or anything so it’s not broken. I had tiger balm at my house. I literally just touched it with my finger (very very little) and rubbed it
You may see some stomach upset (vomiting or diarrhea). Tiger Balm is moderately toxic if ingested in large amounts. Typically, a short fast followed by a bland diet can resolve minor upset. See your veterinarian if any upset or limping persists.

My cat may have ingested a small amount of Gold Bond Anti-Itch Cream.
She may experience some vomiting and diarrhea as a result, especially if the lotion contained zinc oxide. A small amount is probably not going to be a problem, but if she gets sick, if she develops blood in her stool, loses her appetite and/or becomes lethargic, get her in to see your vet right away.

Hi. We applied Advocate flea treatment to both of our cats this evening. A couple of hours later one of our cats licked the treatment site of the other cat. Do we need to take her to an emergency vets or keep an eye on her?
Just keep an eye on her. She would need to eat a lot of the product to get sick. You may want to give some wet food with added water to get the product to pass through more quickly. I would expect some drooling as the only side effect. Do monitor her though and should you see any medical problems such as tremors or vomiting and diarrhea then I would take her in. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for Pippa.

I fought my cat drinking water I had sprayed scrubbing bubbles in, I don’t think she got very much but I need to know what to do. I’m currently not working so I do not have the money to go to a vet.
Oh no. As this was diluted with water, there is a good chance Nala really didn't get much of the scrubbing bubbles. Watch her for drooling, lethargy, and loss of appetite. Also check her mouth for signs of sores. If you see any of those things, have her seen by a vet.

I think my cat ate a piece of my gel hair tie. I'm missing about an inch of it. This was 48 hours ago and she is acting fine. She is eating and drinking too. Should I. E worried about this?
Oh no, Nina! Fortunately it was a small piece, but yes, this could still be a cause for concern for causing an intestinal obstruction. Closely monitor Nina for signs of vomiting, lethargy or a loss of appetite. If you observe anything abnormal, you will need to take Nina to a vet immediately for evaluation. Also monitor her stool to watch for signs of the hair tie passing. You may not see it, but it doesn't hurt to look to be sure that it passes. I hope that all goes well!

I applied topical flea treatment to my cat and some of it got smeared on her fur(a place she can reach). I tried to wipe it off with a wet towel after I was sure it absorbed into her skin but idk if that's enough since it's water-proof. Should I just
Hello, thank you for your question. I believe that keeping a close eye on your cat and trying to prevent her from licking the product is a good option. Most of these products cause mild GI upset or excessive salivation when they are ingested, but rarely life threatening signs. If your cat develops any vomiting, diarrhea, or inappetance I would recommend having her seen by a veterinarian. Hope this helps, good luck!

Hello. My cat ate 6 ultra mega GNC pets soft chews instead of 1. He is 8 lb. he feels fine now. Will he be ok?
At worst, you may see some vomiting and/or diarrhea. If necessary, you can fast him for 12 hours then feed a bland diet in small, frequent amounts until symptoms resolve. If symptoms persist or worsen, have him seen by your vet.

My 18 week kitten licked some Bob Martin spot on flea treatment, we immediately washed it off best we could. Should I be concerned
A small amount should not cause a serious problem. You may see some drooling or minor stomach upset (vomiting or diarrhea). Monitor for lethargy, tremors, ataxia (wobbly gait) or loss of appetite. These are symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian.

Hello. I just watched my 1 year old male cat Simba eat a little lizard he found in my house. I tried to stop him but I was unable to in time. He ate the whole lizard. I have since read about serious issues this could cause. Should I be worried? And w
This honestly depends on the type of lizard. I'd monitor him for any concerning signs including vomiting, excessive salivation, anorexia, and lethargy. If you see any of them, have Simba seen by a vet.
