Cat Licked My Shampoo. Should I Worry?

[kimdpadgett1970]

I used my Herbel Essense Honey & Vitamin B shampoo on my cat and I missed a spot when rinsing her because she does NOT like a bath so she does squirm. Do I need to worry about it making her sick?

She's not a kitten. She's 9 years old.

Not likely to hurt her one time. But you should not be using human shampoo on a cat, nor should you be bathing them if they don't really need it. Yes, for an occasional clean up because they got into something that they can't clean on their own, but otherwise, most cats can keep themselves clean through grooming.

In the meantime, I hope you made another attempt to remove whatever shampoo that you think you didn't get. Not only from an ingestion standpoint, but from a skin irritation standpoint as well.

Human shamooo can really dry out their skin. In a pinch, jhonson's baby shampoo can be used but a pet shampoo os better.
