Here's why:
* Dog medications are formulated differently than cat medications. They can contain ingredients toxic to cats, potentially causing serious health problems.
* The severity of the reaction depends on the specific medication and the amount ingested.
* Prompt veterinary attention is crucial for the best outcome.
Please do not hesitate to call your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (1-888-426-4435) for immediate guidance. They can assess the situation and provide the appropriate advice.
