It would depend on how much. If the cat simply licked a little that had been put on his coat, he might be okay. Any more than that---call a vet ASAP.

How do you give a cat oral antibiotics when they have a cone on their head so that you can't hold their head?

I lift my cat up and cradle it in my left arm. Then I grasp my cat by the back of the neck with left arm (not the head). I then insert the medicine in the syringe quickly into the cats mouth with my right hand. Cats don't like this, but I hold on until the cat has swallowed the medicine. This usually works.If your cat has a cone on its head it makes it more difficult and awkward, but you still have to do it. You may need help. Have someone help you while you hold the cat.My male cat recently got sick and wouldn't eat. I gave him the medicine as described and he came out of it in a couple of days.

Seeing my cat foam at the mouth after giving him some medicine would make me think I shouldn't have given the medicine to the cat. People medicine and animal medicine are not the same.

There likely will be no problem if the amount of canine flea medicine ingested was within the dosage range for a dog similar in size to the cat, but take the cat to a veterinarian if it swallowed a much larger amount of the medicine or if it appears to be sick.

Is it necessary to give cats flea medicine all year long?

You should consult a veterinarian about this, as it does vary depending on where you are. If fleas have taken up residence in your house, as they often do -- they particularly like clean houses with hardwood floors -- you may have to keep your cat on flea medicine all year for several years. Fleas can survive for a long time without visiting the host cat.
