My 8-week-old kitten ate a diabetes pill. What should I do now?

Warfarin (Coumdain) usage in cats is highly problematic and can cause massive internal bleeding. I would highly recommend taking your pet to your local vet right away for monitoring and treatment (if needed). I know it may be hard to find a vet open on today. Hopefully you can find one via this website link http://www.vetlocator.com/hotline.php Also I would highly recommend calling Pet Poison Helpline for 24/7 immediate service from a certified toxicologist on how to best proceed with his care. Their number is 855-764-7661

She needs to be seen by your veterinarian or at the nearest veterinary ER immediately. Either can induce vomiting via injection to get the pills up and out. Activated charcoal may be given afterwards to further decrease absorption. This is most successful if done within 2 hours of ingestion. Given current events, you may need to drop her off then wait for your veterinarian to call you to discuss exam findings, treatment options and follow up plans.

Take him to the emergency vet right now. This is serious hypoglycemia and it could kill him. He may be in remission and may not need any more insulin. However this needs to be checked by a veterinarian. But for now it is very important that he be seen at the ER.

Animals can show signs of toxicity after ingesting 1.5 mg per kilogram of body weight and Hunter may have ingested over 7 mg per kg. I would be concerned about the potential for serotonin syndrome secondary to this medication. It could cause agitation, high heart rate or blood pressure, muscle tremors or seizures. I would recommend seeing an emergency veterinarian to discuss treatment. Attempting to induce vomiting might be recommended if he ate the pill recently, but it can be difficult to get cats to vomit. Otherwise the recommended treatment would probably be IV fluids and monitoring in the hospital.

I would call the Pet Poison hotline immediately. +1-855-764-7661 They have 24/7 veterinarians who specialize in toxicities. They also have access to databases of cases that match Sylvester’s. They can tell you whether you need to rush to the emergency vet or to not worry at all. There is a $59 fee but that is much cheaper than an emergency vet visit! They will also give you a case number so your veterinarian can call for advice if needed at any time. Hope this helps and best of luck to you and Sylvester!

Oh poor Phoenix! Given that he is still vomiting without it stopping, it's time to see emergency care. He will need a shot to stop the vomit, which the vet can give him. I would take him into an ER vet or find a vet on call to see him now.

0.125mg/lb (0.25mg/kg approx) is the recommended upper dose so some severe and possibly life threatening sedation could potentially occur. I would recommend getting them to an emergency vet for supportive treatment and monitoring until they can clear the drug out of their system; iv fluids, maintaining body temperature and possibly the administration of an antidote may be required
