Antidote for tylenol poisoning surrounded by cats.?
I know there is a immediate cure if caught for acetemetophin poisoning contained by cats but does anyone know what it is made of? The antidote.
The vet
Only your vet can really minister to and inform you what the relevant antidote comprises of. if your cat has swallowed tylenol, immediate medical sustain needs to be sought.
But, here is a guide for you, as quoted in wikipedia on antidotes for tylenol for cats -
"Paracetamol (Tylenol, acetaminophen) is extremely toxic to cats, and should not be given to them under any circumstances. Cats withdrawal the necessary glucuronyl transferase enzymes to safely break paracetamol down, and minute portions of a tablet may prove fatal.[38] Initial symptoms include vomiting, salivation and discolouration of the tongue and gums. After around two days, liver incapacitate is evident, typically giving rise to jaundice. Unlike an overdose in humans, liver damage is now and then the cause of death; instead, methaemoglobin formation and the production of Heinz bodies in red blood cell inhibit oxygen transport by the blood, causing asphyxiation. Effective treatment is occasionally possible for small doses, but must be extremely rapid.
Any cases of suspected ingestion in cats or overdose surrounded by dogs should be taken to a veterinarian immediately for detoxification.[41] The effects of toxicity can include liver damage, haemolytic anaemia, oxidative damage to the red blood cell and bleeding tendencies. There are no home remedies, and the amount of irreversible liver failure is dependent on how summarily veterinary intervention begins. Treatment of paracetamol overdose by a veterinarian may involve the use of supportive fluid therapy, acetylcysteine (trade name Mucomyst), methionine, or S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAMe) to slow liver overexploit, and cimetidine (trade name Tagamet) to protect against gastric ulceration. Once liver damage has occur, it cannot be reversed. [42] Vitamin C can be used to aid in the conversion of methemoglobine back to hemoglobine (6 x 30mg/kg every 6 hours)."
here's the link near the paragraph under the title "Effects On Animals" where the antidotes are highlighted in blue where on earth you can research their chemical compound.

" Sidebar 1: What to do if you suspect acetaminophen toxicity
“Acetaminophen toxicity is an emergency situation” say Dr. Jill Richardson, Director of Consumer Relations and Technical Services for Hartz, and consulting editor for toxicology for the Veterinary Information Network. “You should contact your veterinarian immediately, even if the cat ate only one pill, or even whether the owner simply suspects that it was eaten. Early aggressive treatment by a veterinarian is extremely important. Even whether you only suspect your cat may have eaten an acetaminophen tablet, still see a vet forthwith. There is a test that can confirm exposure, but treatment for poisoning should be initiated while you wait for test results to see whether the cat was actually exposed.”
Sidebar 2: Clinical signs of acetaminophen toxicity
Brownish-gray gums
Labored breathing
Swollen face, nouns and limbs
Hypothermia (low body temperature)
Uncoordinated gait
Coma
Jaundice
My source for much of the info in the article came from Dr. Jill Richardson herself, and from an article she wrote, which can be found here: http://www.aspca.org/site/DocServer/vecc...
Call the ASPCA Poison Control Center now. The payment is about $60. Don't delay. 1-8OO-548-2423
Acetylcysteine: An antioxidant drug used to reduce the thickness of mucus and reduce its removal. It is also used to reverse the toxicity of high doses of acetaminophen. Acetylcysteine with hydration significantly reduces the risk of contrast nephropathy contained by patients with chronic renal insufficiency. Also called N-acetyl-L-cysteine...
so basically I am saw...if your cat ate tylenol, take him to a vet right away or he will die! You don't hold Acetylcysteine hanging out in your house.
Um taking it to the vet.
Good god, please take your kitty to the vet right away!! :(
go to an animal hospital.
