possibly poisoned
Hi, I am new here but I have a real problem. My home is inundated with
animals and they all get along fine and I have never had a problem, but this morning my 8 year old son accidently let our 6 month cat Marvin out and Marvin returned at 11:30 smelling like gasoline or kerosene, drooling a little and behaving badly( snarling at me). So I called the vet clinic and noone answered, so then I bathed him, dryed him (now he is really angry)lol... but I don't know what else to do and as it is friday night there will be noone at the clinic over the weekend and I don't even know if there will be Monday because it is a holiday. Anyone know what I should do if he swallowed some of the gasoline/kerosene? He seems to be better now but what if he just isn't showing signs yet? I think someone actually fed him this or poured it on him, if I ever find out they did, I give them a taste of their own medicine... why woul someone do a thing like that? |

Oh when I say inundated I mean it. Two dogs, a lab, Baby, and a mix
shephard/lab/rot, Foxy Roxy, three cats, Marvin and Zach, both male, Marvin is a gray/black/cream colored tabby, and Zach is a true white long haired something, with blue eyes and deaf as a doornail, and Psycho Stud Muffin who when little was mistaken for a male but at about six months the male turned out to be a female in disguise,lol, she is white with yellow polka dots. She is truly a people cat but does not share well with other cats even though she loves the dogs.. shawnm wrote: Hi, I am new here but I have a real problem.

Surely there is an emergency vet in your area? Take him there today.

He seems to be better now but what if he just isn't showing signs yet? First.....stay calm. It sounds like he should be fine. The bath should have gotten it off his fur so he won't ingest any more. Is the gasoline smell gone? Feed him. As much as he will eat. Some milk may protect his system, also. You may want to: Call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 if you're in the USA. There are people there 24 hrs a day. They may charge for a full "consultation" ($55), or just quickly tell you not to worry (for free). A local SPCA may be able to answer any questions, also. But it sounds like the effects may be mostly external. He tried cleaning, and drooled from the taste. why woul someone do a thing like that? You probably don't want to know. Best of luck. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: N/A iQCVAwUBRdbitpMoscYxZNI5AQF56AQAsL5FmkHL92B0gmRhsw rTiiw0VLweM2sz Nehw1fH9tuzcxMnFsFlHknN7TnzymwvPEQN0hMIhRf2YjrApgg 2fgNbBr9/soLVg qZeyzA9VpFLbYdhWlZSnJRgKsAyYYuEu6mGFS6dCYWtxkdAKVd 0hovjVRHCLvsRg cp8K4umqV38= =gdPD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- |

We tried all vet offices within a thirty mile radius but none of them were
open. So I gave him some milk and he vomited that back up, but he did eat and drink water and had no problem, and now he is back to sucking on our ears and demanding his due as prince of the castle so I think he will be fine, thank heavens, daddy would not take it well at all if Marvin were ill. We raised him from a bottle and he has always been daddy's boy. thank you all for the information and a shoulder. thanks. Buddy's Mom wrote: Surely there is an emergency vet in your area?
