My cat bit socks with Clorox. What should I do if he seems okay now?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! To be safe, bathe Sabbath in case bleach got on his fur. Since cats groom themselves we wouldn't want him to get bleach in his mouth. If he'll let you, try to rinse his mouth, but don't do it if he tries to bite. My hope is that he didn't lick any and none spilled on him. If he starts drooling, not eating or breathing fast take him to the Vet. I hope this helps! Good luck!

Hi there. If it was just a brief moment, they probably didn't ingest very much. I would keep a close eye on their stool, appetite and behavior and if anything changes or seems abnormal, have them checked by your vet. I hope that helps.

Oh no, that's not good that Tigger may have drank diluted bleach! Enough bleach can cause vomiting, and mouth, throat, and stomach irritation. Rinse his mouth out with water right away, but do not induce vomiting. That can make the situation worse. Encourage plenty of water intake, soaking his food in tuna juice or gently warmed low sodium beef or chicken broth to get more fluids into him If you do see any abnormal symptoms such as vomiting, anorexia, lethargy, diarrhea, or irritation in his mouth, I would have him seen by a vet right away.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Roxy. Oh no, that's not good. Because the bleach is in water, it is diluted, which makes it less toxic. She may be fine, but I will give you some thinks you can do for her. First, give her a small bowl of milk. This may help neutralize any bleach present. Then check her mouth, see if you can see any redness in her mouth. If you do, she will need to see a vet. Otherwise, keep an eye on her. If she starts excessively drooling or vomits, have her see a vet right away. Best of luck.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Domestos contains bleach. If it is not ultra concentrated and it was very dilute then the outcome is better. Usually symptoms start with in mins: drooling, red lips, irritation around the mouth, pawing around the mouth and vomiting if a lot is consumed. Bleach is corrosive causing irritation of the gums, esophagus and stomach. If the bleach you use is ultra concentrated then Harley should see a vet immediately. Otherwise if Harley got the bleach on his fur, bathe him in lots of water and mild soap. Rinse his mouth out with lots of water and encourage him to drink water. You can add chicken broth, tuna juice and even try some milk to encourage drinking. If he starts to show symptoms despite the above he should see a Vet. I hope this helps and I wish you the best!

Bleach can cause severe internal burns. I would recommend to call the Pet Poison Control Hotline. The chemicals are diluted but they will have a better idea of what amount is toxic and what the next steps should be. These burns can occur within minutes to a few hours. Call them ASAP. I hope everything turns out ok with Malec!

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Kitty Perry. I love her name! I’d just watch her for now, and check her mouth to make sure there are no burns in it. If you see burns, take her into a vet immediately. If you see excessive drooling, vomiting, difficulty eating, or lethargy, have her seen by a vet. You did the right thing by giving her milk. I hope this helps.
