i set out 3 of these joint med tablets for my dogs and left for a moment, when i came back my stupid cat had eaten all 3. should he be okay or should i make him throw up

I would call your vet and ask them. If your cat does need to vomit, the vet is better able to handle that for you rather than you trying to do it yourself.

Cosequin is available for cats, but as I recall MSM is not included and the dosage, even for a large cat, is much lower than what your cat ingested. I completely agree that the vet has to be informed about this and can tell you how to proceed. MSM is used for cats, but much less frequently than it is for dogs.

MSM is contained in some cat arthritis supplements, but not Cosequin or Dasuquin. The highest dose that I have seen for a cat was in Glyco Flex Plus, which I gave Feeby, at 125mg.

But I am not sure that is the entirety to the problem, hence the reason for contacting the vet. The highest dose of glucosamine that I have seen in a cat supplement was 260mg. So, this cat ingested nearly 8 times that amount.

called the vet and they said he should be just fine because its not anything overly toxic. i gave him a little hydrogen peroxide in a panic but they said that should be okay too, he didnt throw up at all, he wasnt even phased but from the combination of all the stuff he’ll probably throw up eventually. right now im just keeping an eye on him but hes acting normal. thanks for the advice.

Good! He might vomit and/or have diarrhea though. But I guess if that is the worst of it, that is a good thing.

Don’t ever give a cat hydrogen peroxide. You can cause esophageal burns. Call your vet and let them know you did this.

IS HYDROGEN PEROXIDE SAFE FOR CATS?

im aware, i told the vet and they werent very worried about it or anything. it was very diluted and he didnt swallow a whole lot. im sorry for giving him any, i feel bad but i just kinda panic did it because i was worried for him, hes napping now, hes 16 pounds so it takes alot to get to him i guess. he still hasnt vomited or anything but he probably will eventually from all the stomach upset.

He might not vomit, but he might have some loose stool or diarrhea from the glucosamine.

[raptordeer]

Yes! Please let us know!!

he seems to be doing just fine. no puking or diarrhea, atleast not that i’ve noticed. he happily ate his breakfast this morning so we’ll see if he accepts his dinner. he seems completely normal so im thinking he’ll be just fine

 

[FeebysOwner]

Thanks for the update! It sure sounds like you - and he - dodged a bullet on this one! That is great!

He seems quite content with himself when you're the one that needs a rest. Be Well (both of you)

This is a recent study on joint supplement toxicity in dogs
