If your cat ate a mackerel, there are a few things you should do:
- Monitor your cat for any symptoms. Mackerel can contain high levels of mercury, which can be toxic to cats. Symptoms of mercury poisoning include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and seizures. If your cat shows any of these symptoms, contact your veterinarian immediately.
- Call your veterinarian. Even if your cat is not showing any symptoms, it is important to call your veterinarian for advice. Your veterinarian will be able to tell you if your cat needs to be seen and treated.
- Bring the mackerel packaging to the veterinarian. This will help the veterinarian determine the type of mackerel your cat ate and the amount of mercury it contained.
- Follow your veterinarian’s instructions. Your veterinarian will likely recommend that you monitor your cat for symptoms and follow up if any symptoms develop.
