Ask the Vet About Poisoned Dogs and Cats

Question:I am trying to figure out why my son’s 4 month old kitty passed away. He was fine until he ate a small bit of a money plant. He became lethargic, was extremely thirsty, had tremors and lost the use of his rear hind leg. His decline was very rapid and he passed before he was able to get to the vet. Any insight would be gratefully appreciated!

Question:I was looking at alternative cleansers and disinfectants to Clorox wipes (active ingredients: 0.15% ALKYL DIMETHYL BENZYL AMMONIUM CHLORIDE and 0.15% ALKYL DIMETHYL ETHYLBENZYL AMMONIUM CHLORIDE). I saw a safer (for humans) alternative offered with the active ingredient of Thymol. For example the brand Seventh Generation uses a concentration of 0.05% Thymol as the active ingredient in its disinfectants. However, I know phenols can be very toxic to cats. In a concentration of 0.05%, is Thymol disinfectant cleaner a safe enough alternative around cats?

Question:Please help me, I gave my dogs benadryl allergy and sinus, diphenhydramine hcl & phenylephrine hcl tablets, antihistamine, nasal decongestant

Question:my cat ingested some flea medicine. He got super drooly but it stopped after like 15 minutes if that he stopped. I gave him a bath to get it off of him. He was eating and drinking shortly after and has been laying around most of the day like normal. He hasnt used the bathroom as far as I know though. He's also been cuddly and playful. I called the vet and they told me there's nothing they can really do. And I didn't take him to the ER because they said he should be okay and there's nothing they would honestly do because he's eating and drinking and playful. Im wondering if this is all correct and if not what to do now because its been almost 12 hours since this all happened. And also how long it can take for something to happen and how long I need to keep and eye on him. The medicine was Hartz for kitten 12 weeks and older and for cats 5 pounds and up he is 2 years almost and over the weight requirement. Please help me and my cat. He is my support animal and my baby and my best friend I can't lose him. I feel so guilty.

Question:Our dog is a 7 -8 month Pitbull and Sharpe, last night he started acting strange he wasn’t listening to me we were in the garage and he laid down in front of my car and wouldn’t come, so I looked and there’s a puddle underneath my car oily brownish but it looks undisturbed and to far under the car for him to reach he couldn’t fit underneath car, but then I remembered him drinking a lot of water from a puddle outside in which there’s probably a lot of cigarette ashes in. The reason I say all this is because I’m worried about some type of poisoning he’s acting tired won’t eat he went into the bedroom closet last night and didn’t want to come out. This morning he was still acting kind of lethargic then perked up quite a bit, went outside with me pooped and peed was playful but then he started shaking off and on. Started moving slowly and just wants to lay down. I’m the grandma and puppy sitting my daughter and her husband are out of town. I don’t want to worry them. I’m hoping you can make some sense of what is going on with him. He’s not throwing up and no diarrhea solid poop. I think that’s everything, please help.
