Cat poisoning: When and what to feed after activated charcoal?

Without knowing what specific poison Kiki was exposed to it's impossible to give specific advice but I'm happy your vet thought he would be fine! It is important to make sure he is eating and drinking with no vomiting or lethargy that could indicate symptoms of poisoning. You can mix a little water in with his wet food to encourage more water consumption. Continue feeding canned cat food as this is the most nutritious option (better than chicken). Hope this helps!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I would wait another 24 hours. If when you transition her to canned food she starts vomiting again, I highly recommend that you have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Some possibilities include gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, food sensitivity, among other possibilities. Good luck and have a wonderful day!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! That is a great question and actually very commonly asked. There is really nothing special to feed him. The most important thing is to make sure that he is eating with a good appetite so I would just keep him on his usual diet if that is what he likes. Good luck and have a great day!

Poor Vriska! Did they have her on fluids at the vet? If not she may end up needing them unfortunately. Usually food poisoning will settle with time, but it can make them very dull a nd dehydrated. Hopefully she will not vomit now as she was seen last night. You can try and keep her hydrated at home to support her whilst she heals. However if she gets dehydrated she will likely need that drip. You can slowly syringe water into to her, it would be best with electrolyte solution added such as royal canin rehydration support. To be honest I wouldnt feed her at the moment as it will likely make her worse. Give her a rest day off food then feed feed her plain chicken and rice. If she is going downhill you will have to take her back in unfortunately.

Wait 12 hours since he last vomited before offering him food to allow his stomach a chance to settle. Offer him small amounts of water at a time and continue doing that to prevent dehydration. I hope that helps you! Thanks for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

Any poisoning is dangerous. Without knowing the specific poison she ingested I can't give you a prognosis at all. Do not worry about her not pooping. She hasn't been eating enough and most poisons slow down the GI tract. Unless she is straining to poop like she is constipated I would not be worried about it.

I would recommend allowing Jasper to eat right away. If he's feeling nauseous he will leave the food alone. If he is continuing to vomit and unable to eat by 24 hours after this all started, I would strongly recommend taking him back to the veterinarian for evaluation. Cats can get very ill with something called hepatic lipidosis from not eating for a prolonged time. I would also worried about toxicity from the shampoo if Jasper ate a lot of it. At the very least after 24 hours he will need some fluid underneath his skin to help rehydrate him and probably some anti-nausea medication. At home provide him lots of opportunities to drink water and eat, and limit his stress. He may want to just hang out by himself or sleep. Reasons to seek help before 24 hours include extreme lethargy, uncontrollable vomiting, and looking pale. Good luck, I hope Jasper feels better soon!
