Your concern about your cat potentially ingesting poison after eating a mouse is understandable and requires prompt action to ensure her safety.
- Observe your cat for any unusual behavior or symptoms.
- Contact a veterinarian immediately if signs of poisoning are present.
- Consider switching to non-toxic pest control methods.
If your traps have been baited with poison, there's a risk that your cat may have ingested some of the toxin through consuming a mouse that had been exposed. Signs of poisoning can include vomiting, lethargy, and difficulty breathing. It's crucial to monitor your cat closely, and if she exhibits any of these symptoms, contacting a veterinarian as soon as possible is imperative.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
