If your cat ate a croquette, you should:
- Monitor your cat for any signs of distress. This includes vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or difficulty breathing. If you notice any of these symptoms, take your cat to the vet immediately.
- Call your veterinarian. They will be able to advise you on the best course of action.
- Induce vomiting. This is only recommended if your cat ate the croquette within the last hour. To induce vomiting, give your cat 1 teaspoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide per 10 pounds of body weight. Do not give your cat more than 3 teaspoons of hydrogen peroxide.
- Give your cat activated charcoal. This will help to absorb the toxins from the croquette. You can give your cat 1 gram of activated charcoal per 10 pounds of body weight.
- Keep your cat hydrated. This will help to flush the toxins from your cat’s system. Give your cat plenty of fresh water to drink.
If you are unsure what to do, it is always best to err on the side of caution and take your cat to the vet.
