Acetaminophen & Cats
All should be aware of the toxicity of acetaminophen in cats:
A quick Google search revealed that apparently Acetaminophen is very toxic
to cats:
"Acetaminaphen, the main ingredient of Tylenol and several other non-aspirin
pain relievers. It possesses both analgesic and antipyretic effects. The
feline toxic dosage is 50-100 mg/kg. One regular-strength tablet (325 mg)
may be toxic to cats, and a second could be lethal. One "extra strength"
(500 mg) tablet can result in toxicosis."
I just learned this the hard way.
