short hair cat's question about Insecticide Toxicity

Question

i sprayed some raid ant/roach killer in our kitchen. i thought i was keeping a close eye on him but he walked through it while it was still wet. i think he licked his paws after this. do i need to take him to a vet?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your question. I don't think that you necessarily need to take your cat into the veterinarian unless he starts showing signs. If you start to see him vomiting, having diarrhea, not eating, or becoming lethargic, then I would take him in and have him seen and let them know what happened. He may have gotten a very small amount, if any, and he may be okay. I hope that all goes well for him.
