Your cat has ingested both Xanax and Eliquis, which can have serious effects on her health. Immediate action is needed to ensure her safety.
- Contact your veterinarian or an emergency animal hospital immediately.
- Monitor for symptoms like lethargy, vomiting, or unusual behavior.
- Be prepared to provide details about the medications and the amount ingested.
Xanax (alprazolam) and Eliquis (apixaban) can be harmful to cats. Xanax can cause sedation and lower respiratory rates, while Eliquis, a blood thinner, may increase the risk of bleeding. Because of these potential risks, it's important to contact your vet immediately for guidance.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
