If your cat just had a small amount of pudding, she's likely going to be okay, but it's important to watch her symptoms closely.
- Monitor for vomiting or diarrhea
- Look for signs of excessive drooling
- Watch for increased lethargy or coordination issues
- Check for unusual behavior such as hiding or refusing food
While a small taste of pudding may not be harmful, cats can be sensitive to some ingredients commonly found in desserts such as sugar, dairy, or chocolate. Lethargy can be a sign of an upset stomach or mild toxicity, so keep an eye on her for any changes in behavior. If symptoms persist or worsen, especially if you suspect chocolate ingestion, it’s best to consult a veterinarian.
