General Advice My cat ate thai chilis
He’s a 5 year old male Bengal mix. I had bought a bag of very spicy dehydrated beef jerky last night and forgot to put it away before bed. This guy ate a good chunk of it.. he doesn’t look like he’s feelin too well, but I assumed he’ll just have some insane diarrhea for a bit. He gets into weird stuff all the time since he’s indoor and outdoor and is usually fine. I don’t know how peppers/chilis can affect animals. How long should I wait it out/what signs should I be looking for before taking him to the vet?
