My cat drank Alka-Seltzer water. Is this a medical emergency?

This is not an emergency service. You need to get your cat to a vet ASAP. Aspirin can kill your cat. You can try to induce vomiting at home but this is not recommended as there is a high chance that he will aspirate. Also, this will not help if he drank it more than 15-20 minutes ago. Chances are some of the aspirin has already been absorbed an your vet will need to intervene to minimize the side effects. http://cattime.com/cat-facts/lifestyle/9662-how-to-induce-vomiting-in-cats http://www.petmd.com/cat/conditions/digestive/c_ct_aspirin_tox Hope this helps.

Cats have a decreased ability to metabolize acetaminophen in their liver, making them much more susceptible to poisoning than most other species. Even though your cat may not show any symptoms yet, its liver may have been damaged. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY You need to take your cat to a veterinarian now.

It could potentially cause serious toxicity. Blackie should be seen by your veterinarian or at the nearest veterinary ER. If the ingestion was less than 2 hours ago, vomiting can be induced via injection. Activated charcoal may be given after to further decrease absorption. Kidney function should be monitored to confirm no damage has been done.

Tylenol is highly toxic to cats, and should never be given to them! As little as one tablet of Regular Strength Tylenol contains enough acetaminophen to kill some cats. You need to take her into a vet immediately, this is a medical emergency.

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! Poor Billy! It depends on the dose of Tylenol ingested. You can call the Pet Poison hotline to see if you know the number of pills and milligrams of the pills. Otherwise he should be taken to an open emergency vet right now. Cats can be saved from Tylenol toxicity if immediate action is taken. Sadly cats can not metabolize Tylenol and for Billy's weight of 10 lbs only 45 mg is toxic. Signs of toxicity are trouble breathing, vomiting, grey-brown gums, swollen face, neck or legs. If you aren't sure he ate Tylenol he could be having diarrhea for many reasons and if he feels urgency and is uncomfortable he could be vocalizing. I highly recommend taking him to a Vet now and best case he has tummy upset from something else. Good luck! http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/

I would have Sassy seen by a vet immediately. Mkat is mephedrone, which causes overstimulation of the heart, circulation, and nervous system. Ingesting this drug could have extremely serious effects on her, please take her into a vet ASAP.

Oh dear! Ibuprofen is quite toxic to cats, and can cause severe stomach ulcers, internal bleeding, and even kidney failure depending on the dose ingested. Since Buddy is having symptoms of a problem and seems very uncomfortable, I would definitely recommend taking him to an emergency vet right away. He/she can do some blood work to determine how serious the problem may be, and will probably also recommend hospitalization for IV fluids, stomach protectants, and supportive care for the next day or two to try and minimize the damage.
