Thanks for your question! It sounds like your cat might have had a little taste adventure. Fortunately, small amounts of sour cream are usually not toxic to cats, though they can sometimes cause mild digestive upset like diarrhea or an upset stomach due to lactose intolerance.
The jalapeño is a bit more concerning as spicy foods aren't suitable for cats. They can cause digestive discomfort, including vomiting, diarrhea, or stomach pain. The good news is that if your cat only consumed a small amount, it may not lead to severe symptoms.
Keep an eye on your kitty over the next 24-48 hours. Watch for signs like persistent vomiting, diarrhea, a noticeable decrease in activity, or any signs of discomfort. If you notice any of these symptoms, it might be time to get in touch.
To help your cat at home, ensure they have plenty of fresh water available and keep their diet bland for a day or two. Offering small, regular meals of their usual food can support their digestive system.
If your cat shows persistent discomfort or you're concerned, booking a video consult with a vet on Dial A Vet can provide more personalized advice and peace of mind. Your furry friend's health is our top priority!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
