First Aid and Emergency Care

A guide to understanding your cat's complex issues.

Elaine Wexler-Mitchell, D.V.M.

Accidents happen, and being prepared for an emergency is part of the responsibility that comes with being a cat owner. Always care for your cat in a manner that prevents most accidents from happening, but know what to do if an emergency situation arises despite your best efforts.

I placed flee drops on the cat but they were for dogs and I placed it on her neck, the middle of her back and at the end of her back yesterday and right now my daughter called me and told me the cat is shaking and walking funny, I told my daughter to give her a bath and get her some of the grass the cats eat, as I want to make sure she did not lick the flee drops off her back , what else should I do?
