Our cat is dying after ingesting ibuprofen. Anything at all we can do?

I'm so sorry to hear that your cat ingested ibuprofen. Ibuprofen is toxic to cats and can lead to serious issues, so it's crucial to act quickly. The primary concern is that ibuprofen can cause kidney failure, stomach ulcers, and even neurological problems in cats.



First, ensure your cat cannot access any more ibuprofen. If it's been less than a couple of hours since ingestion, and your cat is still awake and responsive, you could gently induce vomiting by giving them a small amount of hydrogen peroxide. However, be cautious with this, as it might cause additional harm.



Keep your cat in a calm, comfortable environment and monitor them closely. Watch for symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, lethargy, or any difficulty in breathing. These are signs that your cat needs immediate veterinary attention.



It's very important to seek professional veterinary help as soon as possible. Time is of the essence with any kind of poisoning. I highly recommend scheduling a video consultation with a vet through Dial A Vet. They can guide you on the next best steps and discuss any emergency treatments your pet might need.



Take care, and I hope for the best for your furry friend.
