Monitor Your Cat for Signs of Illness:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Lethargy
- Loss of appetite
Contact Your Veterinarian if:
- Your cat exhibits any of the above symptoms
- The egg was highly seasoned or contained other potentially toxic ingredients
Reasons to Contact Your Veterinarian:
- Fat content: Fried eggs are high in fat, which can cause pancreatitis, a serious inflammation of the pancreas.
- Seasonings: Some seasonings, such as salt, garlic, and onions, can be toxic to cats.
- Oil: Fried eggs are often cooked in oil, which can cause stomach upset.
- Shell fragments: If your cat ate the egg with the shell, it may have ingested sharp fragments that could cause internal injuries.
Home Care if No Ill Effects:
- Provide plenty of fresh water.
- Monitor your cat’s behavior and appetite for several hours.
- If your cat remains healthy, no further action is necessary.
Prevention:
- Keep fried foods out of your cat’s reach.
- Supervise your cat when you are cooking or eating.
- Do not give your cat leftovers that contain high-fat or toxic ingredients.
