Most of us treat our feline friends as part of the family and love to share everything with them… but there are some things we definitely shouldn’t share, especially when it comes to medication. 🐾
Togi recently had a bit of a run-in with a fellow feline and ended up receiving quite a beating. His parents were heartbroken seeing their boy in pain and, in an attempt to help, they considered giving him Paracetamol (Panado) – a common human pain medication in many households. Unfortunately, what many people don’t know is that Paracetamol is extremely toxic to cats! 😞
Cats don’t have the enzyme needed to break it down in their bodies, which can cause serious issues with their red blood cells, making it difficult to circulate oxygen, and it can also lead to severe liver damage.
But Togi wasn’t ready to give up without a fight! 💪🐱 He used one of his 9 lives and beat the odds! Two weeks after being discharged, Togi’s red blood cell count and liver enzymes are improving every week! 🙌
Our team at Fourways Vet is so happy to see Togi on the mend, and we’re all so proud of this brave boy for pulling through! 💖
Let’s continue to keep our furry friends safe by being mindful of what we can and can’t give them.
