My cat with IBD ate garlic Alfredo. Is this amount dangerous?

It is likely Steve did not ingest a toxic dose. Monitor for lethargy, pale gums, difficulty breathing or exercise intolerance for the next 24-72 hours. You may see some minor stomach upset which, in the absence of other symptoms, can be managed with a short fast followed by a bland diet fed in small, frequent amounts until symptoms resolve. If he develops any of the other symptoms, have him seem by your veterinarian.

If he didn't eat a lot I would not be overly worried but if you can quantify how much he ingested it would be best to contact your local vet so they can do a calculation for you. ( https://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/poison/garlic/ )

Hi and thanks for your request. It is unlikely that this minimal amount of garlic can result in side effects and intoxication. FIV positive status should not increase the chances of this intoxication. I would monitor signs such as lethargy, inappetence, fast breathing and pale mucous membranes/palate. If any a check up will be required.

I can understand your concern. Typically there isn’t enough raw garlic to be of concern when used in a condiment and especially if a small bite was consumed. Bonnie will likely be fine. If you want to be absolutely sure you can take her in for some bloodwork to check her organs and make sure everything looks good. Otherwise, just monitor her for the next few days for any symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea, or lack of appetite and get her seen right away by your vet if she becomes ill. Thanks for visiting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and I hope that your fur baby Bonnie does well moving forward. Take care.

How lovely of you and your mom to feed strays near your house! Garlic poisoning is quite serious in cats, and signs of it include vomiting, breathing difficulties, diarrhea, and pale gums. Given that your mom washed off the scallops like they did not have any garlic left on them, but you can still keep monitoring them for the signs I mentioned above. I hope this helps!

It could be the fish has upset Voight's stomach. If he's otherwise acting normally now, I'd just monitor him. I'd seek medical attention if he starts vomiting again, has a loss of appetite, becomes lethargic, and/or his gums turn pale or white. I hope this helps!

I think your cat should be fine. They have to actually ingest the garlic and a clove in her water bowl should have shed enough material into the water to affect her. Of course, keep an eye out for any adverse symptoms, such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, loss of appetite. If she displays any signs of illness, get her in to see your vet right away.
