If your cat shows any of these symptoms, call your veterinarian immediately.

Treatment for chocolate toxicity in cats

There is no specific antidote for chocolate toxicity in cats. Treatment will depend on the severity of the symptoms and may include:

  • Inducing vomiting
  • Giving your cat activated charcoal to absorb the chocolate
  • Giving your cat fluids to prevent dehydration
  • Monitoring your cat’s vital signs and providing supportive care

Prevention is the best way to protect your cat from chocolate toxicity.

Keep chocolate out of reach of your cat. If you do give your cat chocolate, be sure to give them only a small amount and monitor them closely for any signs of illness.
