My cat was given an antidote but still will not eat after seven days; what should I do?
Poisoning causes vomiting and low appetite, and severe cases harm the kidneys, liver, and pancreas; there is often no specific antidote, and organ failure means low rescue odds. Not eating after detox may mean toxins reached the organs or the cat is weak; get a detailed check and nutritional support. If unable to go, give glucose-salt water 5 to 10 ml, 5 to 8 times daily, and syringe meat paste or food with vitamins and protein powder to survive.
Diminazene Aceturate Poisoning in Dogs
Diminazene aceturate is an effective antiprotozoal drug with a narrow safety margin — the recommended dog dose is 3.5 mg/kg, and 7 mg/kg already produces severe neurological signs. There is no specific antidote, so treatment is supportive (fluids, detox, liver protection, antispasm), and the drug should be given as a single, deep, split-site injection.
Can You Treat Cat Vomiting with Chinese Medicine?
Vomiting in cats ranges from mild nausea to refractory vomiting with bile or blood, and the underlying cause — diet, toxins, or disease — decides the treatment. A traditional herbal formula (banxia, dried ginger, persimmon calyx, dried tangerine peel in honey pills) calms many types of vomiting, while toxic cases need an injectable antidote and severe dehydration needs fluids first. Always keep water available and resume small, easily digested meals once vomiting stops — never starve the cat.

Foods You Should Never Feed Your Pet
Some human treats are silently deadly to cats and dogs. Chocolate's theobromine builds to toxic levels because pets metabolize it slowly; grapes and raisins cause acute kidney failure; and alliums like onion and garlic destroy red blood cells and trigger anemia. Feed scientifically and keep these off the menu.

Causes and Treatment of Abnormal Bleeding in Cats

What You Should Know About Vaccinating Your Cat
Whether your cat is a newborn, a newly purchased kitten, or a rescued stray you just adopted, if it has not yet been vaccinated, the first step in responsible cat care is to get it vaccinated. Do not underestimate vaccines—though they may seem insignificant, they are crucial to protecting your cat's health. Vaccines effectively prevent infectious diseases and, to some extent, lighten the burden on owners. Everyone should take them seriously.
The Effects of Atropine on Cats and Dogs
Atropine is commonly used to block the effect of certain nervous-system impulses (acetylcholine) on receptors throughout the body. In animals such as dogs and cats, it is most often used in surgical anesthesia to prevent the adverse effects of nervous stimulation.
