Makgeolli is a Korean alcoholic beverage made from rice, wheat, and yeast. It typically has an alcohol content of 6-8%.
If your cat has eaten makgeolli, it is important to monitor them closely. The alcohol in makgeolli can be toxic to cats, and even a small amount can cause symptoms such as:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Lethargy
- Ataxia (difficulty walking)
- Seizures
- Coma
If your cat exhibits any of these symptoms, you should take them to a veterinarian immediately.
Treatment for alcohol poisoning in cats typically involves:
- Inducing vomiting to remove the alcohol from the stomach
- Giving activated charcoal to absorb the alcohol
- Administering fluids to prevent dehydration
- Monitoring the cat’s vital signs
Prevention is the best way to protect your cat from alcohol poisoning. Keep all alcoholic beverages out of reach of your cat, and never give your cat alcohol to drink.
If you are concerned that your cat may have eaten makgeolli, please contact your veterinarian immediately.
