Hello and happy holidays!
My 9-10 lb., 8 month old kitten Mowgli got into a Stocking with candy in it this morning. He ate about half of one kiss. He threw up a good amount around 11:30 am, and a little more, but mostly saliva, at about 12:45. It is now 4pm and he hasn't vomited since.
He is currently hiding out under the sofa, and seems super mopey/lethargic. He wasn't more hyper than usual after eating it.
I called two different poison controls and my vet, one my vet gave me the number for, and the pet poison hotline. Both of which said I shouldn't worry because he ate so little. The pet poison lady seemed a bit more knowledgeable, and said the milk chocolate probably is just upsetting his tummy, and that the amount he ate isn't enough to be toxic, but to take him to the ER if he continues to throw to vomit, (worrying over dehydration).
Has anyone experienced anything similar? How long is normal for a cat to feel icky after eating something he shouldn't?
I worry a lot over my babies, and im afraid to leave him. Im supposed to go into work tonight, but I'm far too worried :/.
*edit* this is also the first time he's thrown up. Not sure if that's why he's hiding as well.
