My cat ate a poisoned mouse, no symptoms yet, no vet open. What to do?

I don't know all the details about his case and what his bloodwork looked like, but if the vet said he should be fine, then it appears everything checked out ok. I know how it is to worry about your pet and wanting extra confirmation that things are fine. Only at high doses are they considered lethal, and there would have been symptoms of a high dosage within 12 hrs of ingestion. If you have not seen any symptoms (i.e. hyperexcitability, hyperthermia, muscle tremors, hyperthermia, or seizures), then he did not receive a lethal dose of the toxin. Low dose toxicity can cause delayed symptoms, which are 1-4 days post ingestion. These are typically managed with medications and supportive care. Just keep an eye on Beau for the next 2 days for any changes and have them addressed by your vet asap. Otherwise, you can rest easy knowing that he likely did not ingest a lethal dose of the poison. Best wishes with your pet Beau and I hope he continues to do well. Take care!

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! Bromethalin is the new rat poison that causes neurologic damage to the mice resulting in death. There is no antidote for this poison. Lethal dose depends on HOW much Rotty ate compared to his weight. You need to call Pet Poison Control ASAP. If he ate it yesterday it is already out of his stomach and inducing vomiting will not help he has already absorbed it. If you induced vomiting yesterday and he brought it up then that is a good thing, but still call Poison Control!. I'm hoping since Rotty is a large dog he will be fine. http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/ I wish you the best!

Monitor for difficulty breathing wheezing, coughing, lethargy, drooling, loss of appetite, wobbly gait or tremors. Remove him to an area with fresh air and ventilate the affected areas for several hours before bringing him back in.

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. The symptoms Chiolfe is showing can be caused by intoxication indeed. Please, take him to your local vets today, as it sounds that he is struggling a lot. There are no remedies that you can give him at home, so the sooner you take him to your local vets the better for your cat.

Hello, it really depends on what poison or toxin your cat got into. There are specific therapies for these. If it is recent ingestion of a toxin or poison, you may have your veterinarian induce vomiting to prevent the side effects of this toxin. I would recommend finding immediate emergency care for your cat and informing them what specific poison or ingestion of toxin you think your cat got into so that they can better help you. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Because Blue only licked it so briefly, I would not rush her into a vet. You may see some drooling and frothing at mouth. I would rinse out her mouth with cool water using a syringe, and keep an eye on her. If she does start acting out of the ordinary, starts having uncoordinated movements, tremors, convulsions, or seizures, I would take her into a vet immediately.

Oh no, poor Blizzard. You have done exactly the right thing by getting him into the vet, and the sooner he sees a vet, the better his chances of survival. I wish I could give you an exact answer, but it does vary by case.
