I have just noticed that my cat has been sneezing an awful lot today, a friend has said that I should give her some crushed up paracetamol, is this safe, I haven't given my cat anything as yet as I don't think that paracetamol should be allowed for pets.:o

It will possibly cause the cat to have kidney problems I wouldn't give the cat anything with out a vets say so.

Can you not call a vet and ask for advice?
I have just checked with my brother in law he is a vet and said under no circumstance give the cat paracetamol if you are concerned the cat is ill then call your vet and get the animal seen.
