Your cat's ingestion of Pretty Litter is a cause for concern, especially since she now has diarrhea. While eating litter is not ideal, the situation may resolve on its own with close monitoring.
- Monitor your cat for any worsening symptoms like vomiting or lethargy.
- Ensure she has plenty of fresh water available to stay hydrated.
- If diarrhea persists or other symptoms develop, consult a vet promptly.
Pretty Litter, like many other litter types, contains silica gel which is generally not toxic but is not meant to be ingested. Diarrhea may occur due to irritation of the gastrointestinal tract. Observe your cat closely for any additional symptoms or any behavior changes over the next few days.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you're unsure or symptoms are getting worse.
