My cat licked acid toilet cleaner. What should I do if no symptoms?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If the floor looked dry I am sure she is fine. I do not think she needs to see a vet. If you want to rinse her mouth out well with water as a precaution and wipe her paws well with water to prevent any more possible ingestion that isn't wrong. If she becomes lethargic, drools, won't eat or in anyway appears abnormal then bring her to the Vet. But based on your description I think she will be fine. Maybe have a discussion with your roommate about this so it won't happen again. I hope this helps!

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Kali. You did the right thing by wiping out her mouth. I would monitor her for vomiting, excessive drooling, and a loss of appetite. If you see any of those signs, have her seen by a vet immediately. Feed her as normal and make sure she drinks plenty of water. Best of luck.

Cleaning solutions are usually irritating to the stomach and intestines, but don't tend to cause much internal toxicity besides that. If she is eating, drinking and acting normally, then I would not be too concerned. She may have diarrhea for a day or two also, but this is OK. If she continues to vomit for more than 24 hours, has diarrhea for more than three days, or is not eating, drinking and acting normally, then I recommend taking her to the vet. Otherwise, I think it will be safe for her to stay home under observation for the time-being. I hope that helps and all is well with Lily.

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. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Unless she ate a large amount of it (1 tablespoon or more), she should be fine. You can call the poison control hotline ( http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/ ) to confirm as they will have the most up to date information if it would help you. Otherwise, monitor her for vomiting, decreased appetite, lethargy, or diarrhea. I don't expect she'll have any problems. Thanks for using PetCoach and please let know if this was helpful!

Thank you for reaching out about Mirz. I do not think you have any reason to be very concerned about the slippers and a possible chemical on them. It sounds like you have taken the appropriate precautions and it should be just fine. Symptoms of cleaner ingestion may include: excessive drooling, vomiting, and/or a decrease in appetite. If any of this occurs for Mirz, please seek veterinary care. But once again, I do not think you have much to be concerned about after all you have done.

Hello. I cannot find the exact product you are referring to, however with cleaning products the most typical problem is irritation to the region where there was exposure. Usually this means that ingestion will cause ulcers and irritation in the mouth, or in the GI tract. I would suggest rinsing out the mouth and monitoring for any clinical signs including vomiting, diarrhea, tremors, seizures, decreased attitude (being very quiet, not wanting to move or play). As long as Clint is acting normally, and isn't salivating (drooling) a lot or acting abnormal, he should be ok. You can always call your emergency clinic or post the full name of the product that we can double check as well for any more toxic ingredients. I hope Clint feels better!
