根因分析
小苏打（碳酸氢钠）呈强碱性，如果猫在梳理毛发时吞食，可能导致高钠血症、代谢性碱中毒和癫痫发作；即使局部涂抹也可能被舔掉，导致电解质失衡。
English
Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is highly alkaline and can cause hypernatremia, metabolic alkalosis, and seizures if ingested by cats during grooming; even topical application can be licked off, leading to electrolyte imbalances.

-
Use vet-approved flea treatments: topical spot-ons (e.g., fipronil, selamectin) or oral medications (e.g., nitenpyram). For flea bite relief, apply a small amount of hydrocortisone cream (0.5-1%) to affected area, but prevent licking with an Elizabethan collar. Example: apply Revolution (selamectin) monthly.
-
If baking soda ingestion occurs, do not induce vomiting (risk of aspiration). Offer fresh water to dilute. Monitor for symptoms: vomiting, lethargy, muscle twitching. Seek veterinary care for IV fluids and electrolyte monitoring.
