Steps to Take if Your Cat Ate Corn:
1. Monitor Your Cat:
- Observe your cat’s behavior and any symptoms they may exhibit.
- Note if they are vomiting, having diarrhea, or acting lethargic.
2. Call Your Veterinarian:
- Contact your veterinarian immediately, especially if your cat shows any symptoms of distress.
- Explain the situation and any observed symptoms.
3. Inducing Vomiting (if recommended by veterinarian):
- If your veterinarian instructs you to induce vomiting, follow their instructions carefully.
- Use a syringe without a needle to give your cat a small amount of 3% hydrogen peroxide (1-2 teaspoons for small cats, 1-2 tablespoons for larger cats).
- Wait 5-15 minutes. If your cat does not vomit during this time, do not administer more hydrogen peroxide.
4. Preventing Vomiting (if recommended by veterinarian):
- If your veterinarian advises against inducing vomiting, follow their instructions.
- Keep your cat away from food for a few hours.
- Monitor your cat’s eating and drinking habits to ensure they are normalizing.
5. Treatment Plan:
- Your veterinarian may recommend a course of treatment based on your cat’s symptoms and the severity of the situation.
- This may include medication for vomiting, diarrhea, or gastrointestinal distress.
6. Home Care:
- Provide your cat with plenty of water to stay hydrated.
- Feed your cat bland foods such as boiled chicken or white rice in small amounts.
- Monitor your cat’s stools for any signs of blood or unusual color.
Potential Risks and Symptoms:
- Vomiting: Corn is not toxic to cats, but it can cause vomiting and diarrhea if not digested properly.
- Diarrhea: Corn can also lead to diarrhea, which can result in dehydration.
- Gastrointestinal Blockage: In rare cases, a large amount of ingested corn can cause a blockage in the digestive tract.
Prevention:
- Keep corn and corn-based products away from your cat’s reach.
- Supervise your cat when they are outdoors to prevent them from eating corn or corncobs.
