I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. It's truly heartbreaking when a beloved pet passes unexpectedly. There are a few potential reasons why your cat might have reacted badly to eating a large quantity of treats like that.
Greenies and other similar treats, although generally safe in recommended amounts, can become problematic if consumed excessively. Eating too much can lead to gastrointestinal upset, causing vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation. Moreover, a sudden influx of anything unusual in a cat's diet can cause a blockage or other serious issues within the digestive system.
It's also possible that there was an underlying health condition that was exacerbated by the treats. Cats can have conditions like pancreatitis or kidney disease that may complicate the ingestion of rich or unfamiliar foods.
It's essential to monitor for warning signs such as severe lethargy, persistent vomiting, difficulty breathing, or changes in behavior, as these require immediate veterinary attention.
While your situation is incredibly unfortunate, reaching out for professional guidance can help. Booking a video consult with a vet on Dial A Vet may provide you with more clarity on why this happened, and they can offer advice for any future concerns with your other pets.
