Problem = Cat ate adder....

Not sure about the rules for this as its not to do with humans. My friends cat has managed to eat an adder and has gone a bit crazy (weasy). Not sure if there is any avaliable vets at this moment. Any ideas what to do?

Well, you've done the most important thing: post about it on an internet forum.

Im not with the cat and google wasnt turning up much. Wondered if there was anything to do to comfort it/solution until someone professional can see it.

I hope if you ate an adder you didn't come to post on OcUK as the first thing you did!

It deff was an adder. Sorry took so long, been camping in the new forest. Think the cat is fine (if it had died, owner would have said something as i went camping with him). Bilbo (the cat) and I say thanks.

I think the cat had thrown up the adder, and my friends mum had managed to get through to someone. Reason for post was for any info for the time until professional help could be reached.

Did the adder survive?

If survive means party digested and mostly regurgitated (sp), am afraid not

Appears Bilbo is a very outgoing cat and catches pretty much anything, bit off more than he could chew this time

I'll get my coat.
