My cat licked adhesive. What should I do and watch for at home?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Female | spayed | 1 year and 9 months old | 11.8 lbs

Hello my cat licked acrylpro adhesive not sure how much but she seems ok so far. Gave her some hairball remedy in her mouth since it has Vaseline to help guide anything out if hardens. Wiped her mouth as much as I could she is a very hard to handle cat. She has to be tranquilized to be seen. Is there anything at home that I can look out for or give her to help with toxicity. If she seems off at all will see if can rush her to the vet but in quarantine so trying to keep a watch. Thanks

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.
