Info Request

Hello,

What is the dosage that your cat ingested and how long ago?
Has he vomited since the ingestion?

0.625 was the dosage it was about 40 to 60 minutes ago. No he has not vomited. He seems to be just fine. I am not sure that he ingested the pill. I dropped it in the kitchen where his food bowl is and have not been able to find it. Thank you.

Accepted Answer

Ok thanks,

At that dose, you shouldn't see much in the way of signs. If it was more than 1 mg then I would expect to see some mild GI upset (vomiting, decreased appetite, diarrhea). The estrogen can be a problem with chronic use and bone marrow suppression but one dose should not cause any signs.

You shouldn't have anything to worry about with him.

I hope this helps ease your mind, let me know if you have any other questions.
