Do not try to make a cat vomit at home unless a veterinarian specifically instructs you to do so.
If your cat swallowed something toxic or dangerous, contact a veterinarian, emergency animal hospital, or poison control service immediately.
If the cat ate a sharp object, corrosive substance, string, batteries, or a petroleum product, do not induce vomiting.
Keep the cat calm and prevent further access to the suspected item or substance.
Gather information about what was eaten, how much, and when it happened.
Call a veterinarian or animal poison hotline for exact instructions.
Follow only the vomiting method directed by a veterinarian.
Seek urgent veterinary care if the cat is drooling, weak, having trouble breathing, seizing, or collapsing.
