What should I do if a cat drinks? First, let's be clear: animals should not drink alcohol.

Alcohol is seriously harmful to their bodies and can lead to poisoning and death.

If your cat accidentally drinks alcohol, this is an emergency and needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.

The following provide some response measures.

1. Observe the symptoms If your cat once drinks alcohol, it may show unusual behaviors such as loss of balance, vomiting, irritability, lethargy, and shortness of breath.

Observe the symptoms and write them down, which will help you provide useful information to your veterinarian.

2. Make an emergency call If your cat shows any of the above symptoms, make an emergency call immediately. The

veterinarian will tell you what to do next.

3. Take him to the veterinarian If your cat is still awake and moves freely, you should take him to receive professional medical care immediately.

The veterinarian may give the cat some sedatives, let it rest, or perform further examinations to determine if the cat is poisoned.

4. Give it water. It is very important to provide water to the cat while waiting for the veterinarian.

Alcohol can make cats thirsty and even lose body fluids.

Make sure to provide the cat with enough water and see if it drinks enough.

5. Don't deal with it yourself. Don't try to let the cat spit out alcohol, and don't let it drink more water. Both of these methods can make things worse.

Only professional veterinarians can handle this situation safely.

Overall, avoiding cats from being exposed to alcohol is the best precaution.

If you think a cat has been exposed to alcohol by chance, please closely observe its behavior.

If the symptoms are serious, call the emergency number immediately or take it to the hospital.

Remember to stay calm in such an emergency and call a professional doctor for help as soon as possible.
