Ask the Vet About Poisoned Dogs and Cats

Hey! I recommend that you bring your cat to an ER as soon as you can! Peppermint oil is very toxic to cats. It can attack their nervous system and cause muscle tremors. -Dr. Lindsay Butzer

Hey! If the prevention was recently applied, you could try washing it off her coat. If she doesn't improve, try to seek out a low cost clinic in your area. -Dr. Lindsay Butzer

Hey! I suggest that you bring your cat to her vet to get checked out! I'm not familiar with that specific spray so it would be better to bring her in in case it is toxic. -Dr. Lindsay Butzer

Hey! You need to go to your local vet immediately to get help. ~ Dr. Lindsay Butzer

Hey! It does take alot of onions to cause blood diseases in dogs. For example a whole onion everyday for a week or two or 3 onions a day for a week to cause blood issues. But If you are worried please go to a local ER and have them take a blood sample of your dog to check for anemia. Otherwise, if your dog is acting ok, playing and being normal, simply dont give them any more onions and they may be ok. I hope this helped! Dr. Lindsay Butzer

Hey! You need to go to a local veterinarian your pet could have rabies also if they are drooling and you should not touch their mouth and be very careful at this time. I dont know if your pet only lives outside and if they are updated on rabies. Dr. Lindsay Butzer

Hey! I don't see a question here? Please write back with a question. Thank you, Dr. Lindsay Butzer

Hey! I can speak to the team about this. Also, what do you mean by sources? What has it in it? There are so many things that can have it. And you have to always read the packaging of any human products you are giving to your pets. I was at a vitamin shop looking for fish oil for myself AND a liquid flavored fish oil for humans, which I would think would be okay for pets, HAD XYLITOL! I was shocked. So just always check. I hope this helped! Dr. Lindsay Butzer

Hey! I would simply discontinue the medication and give it time to leave his body. You can give SQ fluids at your local veterinarian about 75 ml once every other day to help flush out his system. You can also give activated charcoal 1 capsule a day to bind anything in his blood stream through the GI tract. If the seizures keep happening, you will want a veterinary neurology consult. I hope this helped. Dr. Lindsay Butzer

Hey! I am so sorry. This is a very toxic substance. You need to take advice form the veterinarian who saw your dog. There maybe nothing they can do. Thank you, Dr. Lindsay Butzer

Hey! Tulips and Lillys are in same family of plants that are toxic to cats. This is an emergency and you need to go to your vet. You can give your cat activated charcoal - 2 pills twice a day for 2 days. And you need to give your cat SQ (subcutaneous fluids) or fluids under the skin. If your cat did not ingest it she may be ok, but to be cautious I would do SQ Fluids and Activated charcoal to detox and support kidneys. I hope this helped! Dr. Lindsay Butzer

Hey! Im sorry I am just seeing this now but if she ate one she should be okay! I hope you made it to a vet or got advice over the phone. It is hard making cats vomit and detox of giving fluids and activated charcoal are warranted if a toxic dose was indeed consumed. - Dr. Lindsay Butzer

I don't see a clean question here, but small amount of Zinc will be ok.

Hey! If your cat ate the pine tree needles this may upset their stomach and make them vomit for a few days. You may want to take your pet to the veterinarian to get prescription anti-vomiting medication called "Cerenia" and also give your cats a fluid treatment under the skin to help hydrate them while they deal with the upset stomach. Your vet may also want to run other diagnostics.

Hey! If your dog ate something poisonous you need to go to the veterinarian to have them make your dog throw up or assess your dog to see what to do. Toxicities can be dangerous and your dog needs to be examined and diagnostic testing may need to be done.
