What is a “tapas”?
A “tapa” is a small Spanish appetizer, typically served with drinks. Tapas can vary widely in their ingredients, but they often include cured meats, cheeses, seafood, and vegetables.
What should you do if your cat ate a “tapa”?
If your cat ate a tapa, it is important to monitor them closely for any signs of illness. Some tapas ingredients, such as onions, garlic, and grapes, can be toxic to cats. Other ingredients, such as cured meats and cheeses, can be high in fat and sodium, which can cause digestive upset.
If your cat shows any of the following symptoms, you should contact your veterinarian immediately:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Lethargy
- Loss of appetite
- Difficulty breathing
- Seizures
Treatment for cats who have eaten tapas
The treatment for cats who have eaten tapas will depend on the ingredients of the tapa and the severity of the symptoms. In some cases, your veterinarian may recommend inducing vomiting or giving your cat activated charcoal to absorb the toxins. In other cases, your veterinarian may recommend supportive care, such as fluids and electrolytes.
Prevention
The best way to prevent your cat from eating tapas is to keep them out of reach. If you are hosting a party or gathering where tapas will be served, be sure to keep the food in a safe place where your cat cannot get to it.
