What to do if your cat eats oil

If you discover that your cat has eaten oil, it is recommended that you first observe your cat's physical condition. If your cat shows no unusual symptoms, it means that the amount of oil it ate was relatively small and that your cat can digest it. Therefore, you don't need to be too worried. However, if your cat exhibits abnormal symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and loss of appetite, it is a more serious situation and you should take your cat to the pet hospital immediately for treatment.

If your cat has eaten a small amount of oil, it may not show any obvious symptoms, and you don't need to be too worried. Because all cat foods contain a small amount of oil, if your cat has constipation, you can give it a small amount of plant oil to achieve a laxative effect.
If your cat has eaten a large amount of oil, it may develop symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, poor mental state, and decreased appetite. Moreover, consuming too much oil at once can overwork the pancreas, resulting in pancreatic damage. Therefore, if you discover that your cat is showing any of the above abnormal symptoms, you should take it to the vet in a timely manner to avoid delaying the treatment.
Therefore, for the sake of your cat's health, you should always pay attention to cultivate good eating habits for your cat. Try not to give it too much oil and salt, and it is better to feed your cat with some light foods.
