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

We've been knocking on their door since Saturday, and still no response. We've been feeding him and giving him water for the time being. He is a really sweet little guy and shows no signs of aggression, but is super skinny and timid. Also needs a bath.
