 If he just did it, you need to give him 2 tsp of peroxide by mouth immediately.  This will induce vomiting.

If you can't do this, you need to see your vet immediately so that they can do it and take preventative measures.

Let me know if you still have questions.

Reply to Tammy Falkner's Post: Thanks for your fast response is there any symptoms that I need to look for? I am not sure and do not want to torture the cat if it is not necessary to do so.

 You should keep an eye out for vomiting, lethargy, disorientation, stumbling, inability concentrate or focus...

The problem is that once you see these signs, it's often too late to reverse the damage.

Don't forget to accept my answer if it was helpful to you.

If not, please let me know if you still have specific questions.
