I have just gave my kitten too much antibiotics, what do I do?

Question

I have just gave my kitten 0.5ml of Synulox antibiotics instead of 0.05ml. Most of it went down her face anyway but I definitely gave her too much. I am very worried. The vets is closed now and I don't know what to do. The kitten seems fine at the moment but I am still worried. Does anyone know a 24hour vet line in the UK? Please help!

Answer 1

Make her swallow about 3 milliliters of Hydrogen Peroxide (about 1/3 teaspoon) This will make her vomit anything that she ate. i had to make my kitten do this after eating some pills. good luck and after she throws up give her the right amount of mediceine make sure its the right amount good luck.

Answer 2

Do you have the yellow pages book?

If you don't go to your neighbours or friends and see if you can borrow it.

And fine a 24hour vet line as so as possible hun!

Good luck x

And your kitty will be fine ok?

But just have a check with a professinal x

Answer 3

Try finding a emergency vet clinic in your area. Most are open all the time. Or try calling around and find a vet that's open. Good luck.

Answer 4

See if you can get some water down her or some cat milk. I'm sure she'll be fine though - like you say most of it is probably all over her face, but do try to get some extra fluid into her to dilute the dose a bit.

Answer 5

It'll be fine. :)

Try getting her to eat something, or drink a lot.

If it makes her poorly, she'll throw up anyway. I wouldn't worry.

I can't help with the number though. Try looking on the net. :S

Good luck. X

Answer 6

Your vet should have a number you can contact . Even if they are closed .  

Answer 7

try www.btexchanges.com and search for a vet

Answer 8

it takes a lot to overdose on antibiotics, she'll prolly be ok but i would still call a vet, many vets have 24 hr. service, call your vet and see if it doesnt give you another number on the machine.
