I posted earlier but it went away. I accidently gave my half of my dog thyrosyn 5 mg to my cat before I shaved her. I thought it was her new sedative. She acts fine and it been 3 hrs since I gave it to her. Should I be worried. I like to go to sleep tonight knowing everything will be alright.

Hello, sorry to hear about Kilala. She may develop abnormal heart rates/rhythm and blood pressure changes which could cause her to need medications to control this. However, given that it has been 3 hours since she ingested it may be too late to induce vomiting.
The next best step is to call the ASPCA poison control line to inquire about the toxicity risk with this dose of medication. (888) 426-4435
You should plan to have her evaluated by your veterinarian or emergency clinic tonight, especially if ASPCA recommends it.
Mild signs of this increased drinking, urination, excitability, panting, and a ravenous appetite.
Hope this helps and best of luck
