Monitor your cat closely for any symptoms, such as:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Lethargy
- Difficulty breathing
- Seizures
If you notice any of these symptoms, seek veterinary attention immediately.
Contact your veterinarian for advice. They may recommend:
- Inducing vomiting: This is only recommended if your cat ate the candy within the last 2 hours. Do not induce vomiting if your cat is vomiting or having seizures.
- Administering activated charcoal: This can help absorb the toxins from the candy.
- Providing fluids: Dehydration can occur from vomiting and diarrhea.
- Monitoring your cat’s blood sugar: Apple candy is high in sugar, which can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) in cats.
Keep your cat away from any other potential toxins.
Apple candy is toxic to cats because it contains:
- Xylitol: A sugar substitute that is toxic to cats, causing hypoglycemia, liver failure, and seizures.
- Artificial sweeteners: Some artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame, can be toxic to cats.
- High sugar content: Too much sugar can cause obesity, diabetes, and other health problems in cats.
