My cat ate cheese from the disposal. Should I be worried about him?

You may see some GI upset in the form of vomiting and diarrhea in Gillian because dairy causes that in cats, but it's not toxic. If you do see GI upset, I recommend withholding food for 12-24 hours, then feeding a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet.

Hello there. It sounds like your cat might be licking the remnants of cheese off the wax wrappers. The cheese might cause his stomach to become upset, which can lead to vomiting or diarrhea. Also, if he swallows the wax, it can lead to a blockage in his intestines. I recommend putting lids on your trash cans to prevent him from getting in them.

Cats should be primarily fed a balanced commercial diet (or carefully balanced home cooked diet) to assure that they receive all necessary vitamins and minerals. Since cats are obligate carnivores and are lactose intolerant, human foods are less than ideal. That being said, unless your cat is experiencing vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or inappetance, I highly doubt that the past two weeks of human food have caused any major issues.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This may cause gastrointestinal upset or she may be fine depending on the amount eaten and how well tolerated it is. Watch her closely for signs of gastrointestinal upset such as vomiting inappetence, nausea, and/or vomiting. If any of these are observed, have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Otherwise, she may be fine. Best of luck!

Oh Cooper, mischievous Golden Retriever puppy! Cheese is not toxic but in large quantities or in patients sensitive to dairy products it can cause gastrointestinal upset. I would monitor Cooper for the development of vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation over the next 24-48 hours. If these develop, I would have him examined by his veterinarian to assess if an anti-nausea medication, probiotic, or laxative is needed.

This should be just fine. I expect that he may have a little intestinal upset from the grease in the chip, but he won't have gotten enough salt or onion to do him any harm.Keep an eye on him and if he does start feeling sick, get him in to see the vet right away. I've seen lots of cats steal chips and do just fine. Just try to keep them out of his reach.

They are not toxic but does the potential to upset her stomach. The only signs you are likely to see are vomiting or diarrhea because it may be too rich for her and cats can become lactose intolerant as they age.
