Cat had less than a teaspoon of garlic mayo, will he be okay?

Hi there! Thanks for reaching out with your concern about your kitty. Garlic, as you might know, is not recommended for cats, as it can lead to digestive upset or, in more significant amounts, can affect their red blood cells. Thankfully, a small amount, like less than a teaspoon in the mayo, is unlikely to cause any severe issues.



For now, keep an eye on your cat over the next 24-48 hours. Look out for any signs of stomach upset like vomiting, diarrhea, or loss of appetite. Monitor for unusual lethargy or pale gums, which can signal a more serious condition affecting the blood.



At home, make sure your cat has plenty of fresh water and maintains their usual eating habits. If any unusual symptoms arise or if your cat just isn't acting like themselves, it'd be wise to reach out to a vet for guidance.



If you're worried or notice any of these signs, I'd recommend scheduling a video consult through Dial A Vet. It’s always better to err on the side of caution and get professional advice tailored to your pet’s specific needs. Take care, and give your kitty a gentle pet from me!
