Monitor at home
Watch your pet closely for the next 24 hours. If vomiting, weakness or unusual behaviour appears, call us on +853 6677 6611.
Signs to watch for
- Dramatic drooling and foaming
- Head shaking
- Brief hyperactivity
What to do
Offer a tasty drink or food to clear the bitter taste, wipe glowing liquid off fur in a dark room, and monitor. Call us if vomiting persists.
Macau note
The liquid tastes terrible but is low in toxicity. Cats look dramatic after biting one at festival time; the plastic casing is the bigger swallow risk.
