Omeprazole capsule is a commonly used drug, which is mainly used to treat digestive system diseases such as hyperacidity and gastric ulcer. If cats eat this medicine by mistake, it will have a great impact on their health.
First of all, the main component of omeprazole capsule is omeprazole, which can inhibit gastric acid secretion and accelerate the healing of gastric ulcer. But for cats, the dosage of omeprazole must be very accurate, because excessive use will cause irreversible damage to important organs such as liver function and kidney function of cats.
Secondly, it should be noted that other ingredients contained in omeprazole capsules, such as yellow dye and titanium dioxide, will also have adverse effects on cats and even cause allergic reactions.
Therefore, if you find that your cat has eaten omeprazole capsules by mistake, you must not handle it yourself, but should seek help from the veterinarian as soon as possible. Veterinarians will take corresponding treatment measures according to the specific situation of cats, such as giving special drugs to detoxify and adjusting the diet and living habits of cats.
Finally, in order to avoid similar incidents, when feeding cats, try to avoid eating drugs or improper food, and keep toxic substances and drugs at home out of the reach of pets. At the same time, it is necessary to take the cat to a professional hospital for health examination and health guidance regularly to ensure the health and happiness of the cat.
