Ibuprofen Advil ingestion

[Roki]

Hi. My cat that weighs approximately 8 1/2 pounds, ingested three 200mg Advil/ibuprofen capsules this morning about 0930am. I took her to the closest capable vet and ultimately she started getting treatment about 1130am. After induced vomiting, there was no signs of any pills. She is currently in their care. I’m quite anxious and I realize it won’t be until the 12 hour mark until she shows signs of toxicity. She has baseline bloodwork done & that shows everything is currently fine (no out of bounds markers& no current health issues). I left the pills on the countertop, so… 1am can’t come soon enough. Has anyone else had to deal with this? Please be kind

Update: it’s now 7am & she is still ok. They induced vomiting (after waiting 2hrs!!!), which produced nothing (by then), then fed her wet food with charcoal. They did blood checks @midnight, 3am-ish & 6am. Her blood numbers have been good, with no large spikes or drops in the markers for kidney & liver functions. She pooped a while ago & it was black from the charcoal but it was “not like tar” (which would indicate blood in the stool), so that’s good news. It shows the charcoal has made its way through the digestive tract & this gives it the best chance of absorbing the ibuprofen. They’re keeping her to monitor her blood, but if she stays really stable, I may get to pick her up after 1pm.
