PSA- don’t give your cat GARLIC!!
What about it?
PSA - don’t give your cat anything with GARLIC in it
They stray boy I look after meowed me into goving him a little pork I cooked,
However I forgot I had put tones of cloves of garlic in the pork! And on a whim I google garlic and cats after he ate, to my horror:
“In severe cases, even a small amount of garlic (approximately one clove or 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder) can lead to organ damage, organ failure, or death in a cat.â€
I believe he ate at lease 2 cloves of garlic
I took him to the 24/7 vet, after phoning and trying to figure out the cost - which ended up being $260, $180 for after hours visit and $80 for an injection to make him throw up, they also gave me some charcoal to mix with his food to absorb the toxins,
If I had not done a google search on a whim within a day or so it would have all been absorbed and too late, I hope this is a good psa,
I will also mention the injection made him very sleepy and scared- like he was drunk, he came to my bed, sat on my chest and put his head under my chin while he rested, it was really touching, sad and sweet
