It’s understandable to be concerned when your cat consumes more Cosequin chews than intended. While Cosequin is generally safe, overconsumption can lead to mild gastrointestinal upset.
- Monitor your cat for any unusual behavior.
- Keep an eye out for symptoms of distress.
- Contact a vet if symptoms persist or worsen.
Cosequin is a joint supplement typically safe for pets, but consuming a large amount can lead to soft stools or diarrhea due to its ingredients. Ensure your cat has access to plenty of water. Watch for signs such as excessive vomiting, lethargy, or difficulty in walking, which might warrant further attention.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
