Hi. One of my cats ate a small amount of Hair Gel that fall on the washbasin. I am always cautious when using it, but this time she licked it before I can clean it

The amount she licked was like 1/4 one quater of a Teaspoon

I am now very worry about it because the Hair Gel contains chemicals that are toxic to Cats

Will she be ok because it was a very small amount ingested?

I hope she should be OK, they do have some sturdiness.
But the thing to play such safe is to run to a vet and the vet will provoce vomiting,,, This must be done practically immediately, after a couple of hours it wont help.

What are the ingredients in the hair gel? You can call poison control or your local ER for help.
