What should you do if your cat ate a beetle?
1. Observe your cat. Most beetles are not poisonous to cats, but some can cause stomach upset or other mild symptoms. If your cat shows any signs of distress, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy, call your veterinarian.
2. Contact your veterinarian. Even if your cat is not showing any symptoms, it’s a good idea to call your veterinarian to let them know what happened. They can advise you on whether or not to bring your cat in for an examination.
3. Keep your cat hydrated. If your cat is vomiting or has diarrhea, it’s important to keep them hydrated. Offer them plenty of fresh water or Pedialyte.
4. Monitor your cat’s poop. If your cat’s poop is abnormal, such as if it is black or bloody, call your veterinarian.
5. Be prepared for possible treatment. If your cat has eaten a poisonous beetle, your veterinarian may need to treat them with medication or fluids.
