When a cat accidentally eats pesticides, you should take the cat to the hospital for gastric lavage immediately, and do not inject water to induce vomiting. Cats that accidentally eat pesticides will suffer from a variety of symptoms such as loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, epilepsy, general convulsions, and high fever. If there is no abnormality in the cat, pay attention to the cat's condition so that if any abnormality occurs, it can be treated in time.

What to do if your cat accidentally eats pesticide

When it is discovered that a cat has accidentally eaten pesticides, it is recommended to take the cat to the hospital immediately for gastric lavage to expel the toxins from the pesticides in the stomach. Never use tap water to help your cat spit out the pesticide.

When a cat shows symptoms such as loss of appetite, vomiting, and diarrhea, it means that the cat may have eaten pesticides by mistake, but the situation is not serious. When severe, symptoms such as epilepsy, general convulsions, and high fever may also occur.

If no abnormality occurs after the cat accidentally ingests pesticides, do not relax your vigilance and pay attention to the cat’s mental and excretion status. Once an abnormality is discovered, the cat should be taken to the doctor for treatment in time to avoid aggravation of the condition.
