How Much Hydrogen Peroxide Toxic to Cats

Cats have a very low tolerance to hydrogen peroxide, and a small intake can cause serious problems. Generally speaking, 1 milliliter of hydrogen peroxide at a concentration of 3% per kilogram of body weight is very likely to cause cat poisoning.

If a cat inadvertently ingests hydrogen peroxide, it will quickly break down and release oxygen in the stomach, which can lead to bloating and vomiting. Although vomiting helps to expel harmful substances in the stomach to some extent, frequent and violent vomiting can cause dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. More seriously, oxygen bubbles may enter the blood vessels, forming air clots, which can block the blood vessels, affecting the blood supply of key organs such as the heart and brain, threatening life safety.

If you find that the cat has come into contact with or ingested hydrogen peroxide, you must contact the veterinarian immediately. While waiting for the veterinarian's guidance, do not induce vomiting or feed other substances to the cat by yourself, so as not to aggravate the situation. The veterinarian will generally take targeted measures according to the specific intake and symptoms of the cat, such as inducing vomiting, giving drugs to relieve symptoms or providing supportive treatment, etc., to ensure that the cat recovers as soon as possible.
