Cats are very curious creatures; they tend to stick their noses where they don’t belong. There is a very long list of substances that are potentially dangerous for your cat. Here are the most common ones that you may not be aware of”
Caffeine
Ingesting moderate quantities of tea bags, coffee grounds, diet pills that contain caffeine, etc. can cause abnormal heartbeat, seizures, muscular tremors, and death. Take note that the darker the chocolate, the more toxic it is to cats.
Dairy
Most adult cats are lactose-intolerant, thus consumption of milk and dairy products can cause digestive upsets. Casein in milk also interferes in the absorption of nutrients in the digestive tract.
Medications
Cats are extremely sensitive
creatures, and some drugs that are safe for use in other animals are toxic for
cats. These medications include antihistamines, NSAIDs, decongestants, to name
a few.
If your pet has consumed any item
that’s potentially toxic, call your animal hospital Savannah, GA
immediately even if your pet is not showing symptoms of toxicity.
