Treatment for this type of exposure should be symptomatic. Prognosis is good with appropriate treatment. The APSS veterinarian recommended supportive care, fluid therapy, and methocarbamol. In addition, she recommended the attending DVM monitor the cat for central nervous system signs and call back with questions. The regular DVM stated that the cat was given oral robaxin and rectal valium to control tremors. No IV fluids were implemented. The cat was monitored in the hospital during the day and then discharged to the owner's care. Tremors were still present at time of discharge, but per DVM, they had lessened in severity.
