Therefore, the veterinarian must apply medicine according to the cat's weight and physical condition, and the actuarial dose. Generally speaking, about 1 to 2 ml of 3% hydrogen peroxide solution per kilogram of body weight should be used, and the total amount should not exceed 10 ml.

Sharp objects, such as needles, broken bones, etc., may scratch the esophagus and stomach during vomiting, which increases the risk. Poisonous substances, if vomiting is too late, the poison has been absorbed too much, and it is difficult to reverse the crisis.
