Hello everyone. One of my cats recently came into contact with a bit of peppermint oil-based rodent repellent. I don't think it was a lot, but it was enough that her fur smelled fairly minty. I used some cat wipes to wipe her down as best I could, and I don't smell it on anymore. However, I was reading online about the toxicity of peppermint oil in cats and am now very concerned. How long after exposure do symptoms start to appear? What should I look out for? Should I call her regular vet in the morning just to have her looked over to make sure she's ok? She seems perfectly fine now and is purring and playing, but I've worked myself into a bit of a panic and am terrified that if I go to bed, I might wake up to a medical emergency or worse.
