Grapes can be toxic to cats, and the exact reason why is unknown. Here’s what you should do:
- Contact your veterinarian immediately. This is the safest course of action, regardless of how much grape your cat ate. Early intervention is crucial for their health.
- If your vet is unavailable, call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435. There may be a consultation fee, but they can provide expert advice on what to do next.
Here’s why immediate action is important:
- The toxic component in grapes can quickly damage your cat’s kidneys.
- Even a single grape can be dangerous for some cats.
Do not wait for your cat to show symptoms of grape poisoning. These can include:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Loss of appetite
- Lethargy
- Increased thirst
- Dehydration
- Abdominal pain
By acting quickly, you can increase your cat’s chances of a full recovery.
