1 y/o cat may have ingested bleach

Thanks for the question. I'm sorry to hear your cat might have ingested bleach. It's important to address this quickly, as bleach can be very harmful to cats.



First, observe your cat for symptoms such as drooling, vomiting, difficulty breathing, or burns around the mouth. If you notice any of these signs, it's crucial to seek veterinary attention immediately, as these can indicate a serious reaction to the bleach.



For mild cases where symptoms are not yet severe, here are some at-home care tips. You can encourage your cat to drink water or offer a bland diet like plain cooked chicken to help dilute and pass the toxin. Avoid using any over-the-counter medications or inducing vomiting, as this could cause more harm.



Even if your cat seems okay right now, I strongly advise scheduling a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet. They can provide you with a more tailored plan and determine if any further steps are necessary based on your cat's specific situation.



Keeping a close eye on your furry friend and connecting with a vet will ensure your cat stays healthy. Hope your little one feels better soon!
