2. Provide Information: Be prepared to provide information about the product, including its brand, the ingredients list, and the estimated amount your kitten consumed.
3. Monitor Your Kitten: While waiting for professional guidance, monitor your kitten for any signs of distress, such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or unusual behavior.
4. Prevention: To prevent accidental overdose, always follow the recommended dosage guidelines on the product packaging and store supplements out of reach of pets.
