Last night put for the first time ever over the counter flea drops on my cat which apparently poisoned her. I took her to the animal emergency hospital first thing this morning because she is lethargic and breathing shallow and fast and low temperature and he gave her a shot of cortisone and some kind of charcoal to absorb some of it out of her system. He said now we can just let it run its course and wait but that was this morning and she hasnt improved at all today and I've been by her side all day and I feel like I'm just watching her on her deathbed I am so torn up just watching her suffer isnt there anything else I can do for her???

That is not even close to the proper treatment for your problem. go to another vet right now.do not go to the vet you went to.

My cat died from Frontline. Her fur fell off around her neck and her chin. It took about a month. She was drinking very little and throwing-up around the house. She wasn't active and became grumpy later on. We had to get her put down.
Flea poison is dangerous! If you have an indoor cat, why use it? Whiskers died for no reason, in my opinion. The people who make Frontline called after we complained that their product killed my cat. They told me that their product couldn't have done it. What a load of garbage...
I'm sorry to be negative about this. My cat was sick for the same reason and the ending wasn't very nice for her.

Is your cat very old? If it is... this may be the course. But if the cat is young and healthy, seek another vet because the shots should have done it.
If this isn't an option, feed her her favorites, keep her warm and in a quiet place and hope for the best

shop encouraging human beings to spay and neuter. I even have seen your posts and additionally you're an recommend of it, all you're able to do in that regards is shop going. on a daily basis we see further and extra questions of ignorant people who're nonetheless permitting their cats to reproduce uncontrollably, yet i will assure none of those human beings have ever set foot interior a defend. staring at container after container of tiny little kitten taken to the euthanasia room will replace your existence, yet those human beings do no longer see that area of it, they do merely no longer care. you additionally can volunteer at your close by defend. those animals love having somebody around, and defend volunteers are consistently ought to help sparkling, feed and socialize the animals. you are able to donate meals and money to shelters, alongside with toys, scratch posts, notwithstanding you have. each and every little bit enables, and if extra human beings such as you relatively cared with regard to the animals, they does not be throughout the time of this occasion.

Yes you can!!! I saved my dog by giving him virgin oil and rubbing his stomach down as if your moving the contents downward and out. Start from the top and push down to his lower stomach. Also give her pedialyte for dehydration and it's the liquid that will do good and she can keep down. The oil will help too. The vets 2 of them told me that my dog would not make it. Once said it was parvo the other said that it could not be parvo that it was intestinal something and needed an operation but he was to weak to survive it so they both said nothing could be done. Almost 2 years later he is still here and doing fine. So much for those stupid vets. When they saw him they were like oh my he's still alive...yeah duh! no thanks to you idiots who gave up on him. Try that seriously I mean if she is getting worse anything to try to save her. Do the pedialyte and the virgin oil. Also try to stay with her because they can smell you and knowing you care helps them pull through. Give it to her with a syringe if she won't lick it on it's own. Good luck, I hope she pulls through. I always knew if she was poisioned even if not through food to give them milk and egg whites but I wouldn't recommend that now because she might not keep that down.

Other than taking him to the vet and following their instruction, I don't think there is anything else you can do. I am really sorry you are going through this, I've watched my pets die before and it's aweful. I honestly know what you are going through, and I'm sorry!

Go to a different vet -- if she's having an allergic reaction to this -- which is sounds like . . . something more than cortisone should be done . . . maybe some epinephrine, or diphenhydramine.

First, she should have been bathed to remove as much as possible. She needs fluid therapy, force feeding, and supportive care. You need another vet--she needs to be hospitalized.

She's in the best possible care. All you (and we) can do now is to hope for the best, that she'll pull through.
