My cat licked fipronil flea medicine and foamed at the mouth, will it die?

Licking fipronil flea medicine can poison a cat and be life-threatening; a small amount may be broken down by immunity, but larger amounts without treatment cause violent vomiting, seizures, and lethargy. Chronic signs are poor appetite, lethargy, weight loss, so see a vet and run liver and kidney tests. Apply topical medicine along a line on the skin; if it lands elsewhere, use an Elizabethan collar to prevent licking.
