Can something happen to a cat if he eats a tablet of Glucosamine Chondroitin?
I dont know how old the cat is. He is not a full grown cat,
but he isnt a kitten either. Well first off, I have an older pitbull
who has mild joint problems, so I give him 2-3 tablets
of Glucosamine Chondroitin so his joints could be healthy.
The cat isn’t even mine. I assume he is a street cat. Sometimes,
he comes by so I keep cat food handy just in case he does.
However, latley he has been coming for the whole week. In the
middle of me giving my dog the tablet, I dropped it, and well the cat ate it.
Can anything serious happen to the cat? I bought the tablets from Trader Joe’s
and all the bottle says is"Glucosamine Chondroitin for dogs" it has
warnings, but says nothing about cats. So could it possibly be lethal to
the cat? [sorry for rambling I just dont know what to do]
by the way, I tried to take it from the cat, but he was halfway through it. oh & this is what the bottle says:
Each chewable tablet contains:
Glucosamine Hydrochloride (Shellfish) 250mg
Chrondroitin Sulfate (Bovine) 200mg
Absorbic Acid (Vitamin C) 50mg
Zinc(Oxide) 15mg
Manganese 5mg
Copper 2mg
okay thanks. but the dosage mentioned was for my older pitbull the cat just ate it on accident:(

If there is no warning on the label it most likely wont hurt the cat. If it does hurt the cat, you could get a lawsuit off of the company because there was no warning.
Cosequin is a flavored dose of glucosamine and chondroitin. My one cat was on that dosage of the pill you gave, one capsule every other day for her arthritis.
So the pill is all right, but I would cut back on the amount. A pill every other day is all right.
It should be safe. If there was magnesium in it then I’d say no, but it’s manganese, so ok.
