Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / November 2006acetaminophen and cats
Acetaminophen & Cats All should be aware of the toxicity of acetaminophen in cats: A quick Google search revealed that apparently Acetaminophen is very toxic to cats: "Acetaminaphen, the main ingredient of Tylenol and several other non-aspirin pain relievers. It possesses both analgesic and antipyretic effects. The feline toxic dosage is 50-100 mg/kg. One regular-strength tablet (325 mg) may be toxic to cats, and a second could be lethal. One "extra strength" (500 mg) tablet can result in toxicosis." I just learned this the hard way.

Even if the stuff was safe for cats, a human dose on a cat would be like a human taking twenty doses. Have you ever had to take 20 tablets lately? Or do you have a 160lb kittycat? And why the hell would you assume that what is safe for humans is safe for cats? This has *got* to be a troll. Nobody is that stupid. Ever thought that maybe he dropped the pill and the cat grabbed the pill it has happened to me many of times luckily I have been quicker than the cat > You f.cking idiot.

Nobody is that stupid. He was brave to post a warning to try to help other cats, wasn't he? He had to take the risk that someone would fly off the handle and wag their finger at him, when he's probably already feeling horrible. Rhonda Yes I was an idiot and learned a horrible lesson. thank you all for your words of kindness. Scot > > You f.cking idiot. One human dose of *anything* will kill a cat.

Cats and dogs will go after it immediately. Are your kids allowed to have chocolate? Have they ever dropped any? You probably don't have any kids. Probably you are alone and your only friends are cats. Wayne never argue with an idiot, people might not know the difference. >"AZ Nomad" <aznomad.2@PremoveOBthisOX.COM> wrote the following assinine >commentslrnelife3 [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >Wayne >never argue with an idiot, people might not know the difference. In case of accidental overdose, pouring a bit of hydrogen peroxide down their throat will cause instant vomiting without damage. At least that's what my vet advised me when my dog got a hold of a to-go bag of a half dozen Filaribits (daily heartworm) I had brought along for a trip. >"AZ Nomad" <aznomad.2@PremoveOBthisOX.COM> wrote the following assinine >commentslrnelife3 >> You f.cking idiot. > >Have you ever dropped a pill on the floor accidentally? >Cats and dogs will go after it immediately. >Are your kids allowed to have chocolate?

At least he was good enough to post a warning to others who aren't as brilliant and experienced as you. That's what newsgroups are for, to trade info with people all over the world about the subject of the NS. Your comments offered no info. It was just nasty. It shows you probably do that sort of thing anonymously because you don't have the guts to insult people face to face. It says loads about your character. Wayne  SignatureIt's frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions >>>"AZ Nomad" <aznomad.2@PremoveOBthisOX.COM> wrote the following assinine >>>commentslrnelife3 [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > face to face.

I have friends and acquaintances, and I also have three adult cats. The cat that died was a friends cat. And I am not a dangerous idiot. End of conversation with someone so bitter.
