i think that my cat has been poisoned, please help?
my neighbor has roaches, they sometimes spread brown pebble looking stuff around their house to prevent them from spreading. my cat got out and i think she laid in it and then licked herself. she is drooling a little bit and licking her nose profusely. it is 2am and i cant call a vet right now, do to the time. i have no car to get her to an emergency vet because all my neighbors are asleep. HELP, i cant let my cat die. home remedies to save her until tomorrow please.
the animal poison control was useless, they required a credit cat for the information, $50 before they would even let me tell them what was wrong.
also she is nursing, and i am afraid to let her in. if she comes in and her kittens rush her, they may get poisoned too.
also i looked it up and the stuff looks like Orthene lawn pellets

First of all come down If your nervous your cat will be nervous. Call anybody on your contacts list and just tell them what happened and ask if they can take you somewhere. Get online and call any vet that's near you sometimes vets have people take shifts over night for stuff like this. If your cat seems nervous just try coming him down an petting with a wet cloth or something. Wipe the foom from his mouth and call anybody you know maybe knock on a few doors where you live just try everything you can to get a hold of someone

The ONLY thing I can think of doing is giving her some Charcoal drink. But even this is normally ONLY done if poison control or the vet says to do so. It is a "liquefied" version of activated charcoal which you have to force feed her so it can absorb the poison and allow it to pass through the system relatively harmlessly. But I will bet you that you do NOT have any of this on hand, and to make it you need activated charcoal like the stuff they sell in the FISH department to use in fish tank filters... and then grind/blend it with water into a liquid concentrate.
The only other "next best" thing I can think of is using baking soda. It can often times neutralize things or absorb things.
But, again, poison control or the vet's office should be the one you ask and follow the advice of.

Don't do anything without talking to a vet. There is poison control center for animals, you can google it. Call them, do not trust someone's advise on here with the life of your cat.

If you truly think she may die then call a cab & take her to an emergence hospital. You can call the emergence clinic & ask questions. good luck
