My cat ate chickpeas. Should I take her to the vet if she seems fine?

Hello. I would not be concerned as long as the beans did not contain a significant amount of chopped/powdered onion or garlic. Onions & garlic can cause some problems in the blood & symptoms may not show for several days. You might see loss of appetite, depression, increased heart & breathing rate, weakness, jaundice ( yellow tinge to the skin & mucous membranes & a red to brown urine can occur. If Casper ate a small amount, like around 1/2 teaspoon, he will be fine. If he ate a substantial amount, you might need to take him to your vet quickly to have him cleaned out. But, a small taste is just fine. I hope Casper has no problems with this & thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Hi, I think Axel will be fine. The amount of salt on the bean will still not be enough to cause a significant problem and Edamame beans are not toxic to cats if accidentally ingested. There is no benefit in feeding them Edamame beans ongoing but there is no harm in having it as a one off occasion. I hope this makes sense !

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This may cause gastrointestinal upset or she may be fine depending on the amount eaten and how well tolerated it is. Watch her closely for signs of gastrointestinal upset such as vomiting inappetence, nausea, and/or vomiting. If any of these are observed, have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Otherwise, she may be fine. Best of luck!

That was naughty of Nyx to eat the ice cream! I would first check the ingredients of the ice cream. If it doesn't contain a large amount of real chocolate or dark chocolate (as opposed to milk chocolate), there may not be enough chocolate in the ice cream to cause problems. If it does contain large amounts of chocolate or dark chocolate, rush her into a vet immediately. I would monitor her for signs of chocolate toxicity to be safe which include rapid and/or labored breathing, hyperactivity, rapid heart rate, tremors, seizures, vomiting, diarrhea, and general symptoms of illness like decreased appetite and/or lethargy. If you see any of those signs, take her into a vet right away. Good luck, I hope this helps!

I'm so sorry to hear that Ammu is having this problem. As long as she is eating and drinking well now and acting normally I wouldn't be too worried. Chameleons are not poisonous to cats. Just monitor her closely and if you notice any more vomiting, not eating, or any other abnormal behavior then I would get her to your vet right away. Of course, you know her best and if you're worried it is never wrong to take her to your vet for check up now! I hope this helps! Best wishes.

Hello. Two weeks is definitely long enough to see if there was going to be any acute symptoms from eating the birdseed. It appears she will be fine, but if you do have occasion to take Miracle in to your vet, it would not be a bad idea to run some bloodwork on her.

I am sorry to hear about Kiara! If she has just vomited one time and is otherwise acting normally- normal bowel movements, energy level, and appetite, I would just observe her closely. If she continues to vomit or becomes lethargic or inappetant then she should see the vet. I would probably avoid giving her eggs and stick to her kitten food especially given that she has an upset tummy after this incident.
