Tangors, being a citrus fruit, can cause some stomach upset in cats. Here's what you should do:
Monitor your cat:
- Look for signs of vomiting, diarrhea, or lack of appetite.
- If your cat seems lethargic or is in pain, consult a veterinarian immediately.
If your cat seems okay:
- Limit their food intake for a few hours, but make sure they have fresh water available.
- You can offer small portions of bland food like boiled chicken or white rice after a few hours.
Amount matters:
- The severity of the reaction depends on how much of the tangor your cat ate. A small bite is less concerning than a large chunk.
When to see a vet:
- If your cat shows any signs of distress, don't hesitate to contact your veterinarian.
- It's always better to be safe than sorry, especially if your cat has underlying health conditions.
Here are some resources that might be helpful:
- American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) Animal Poison Control Center: This is a 24/7 animal poison control hotline. There may be a consultation fee. - (888) 426-4435
- Your veterinarian's contact information: Having their number readily available can save valuable time in case of an emergency.
I hope this helps!
