Duck

Duck is fatty, and cats tolerate fat poorly, so larger servings cause vomiting and loose stools and may trigger pancreatitis; keep it to rare, tiny pieces.

Vomiting, loose stools or diarrhoea, poor appetite, lethargy; continuing vomiting or abdominal pain points to pancreatitis and needs urgent care.

Stop feeding and monitor; **contact a vet immediately** for persistent vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain or lethargy, or if bones were eaten, and never induce vomiting at home.

A very small piece of plainly simmered duck only, skinless and boneless with no seasoning; **roast duck skin, sauce and bones must never be fed**, and duck cannot replace complete cat food.

Duck carries far more fat than chicken breast, and that heavy fat load easily causes vomiting and diarrhoea and can trigger pancreatitis, so it belongs in the occasional, small-serving category only.

Vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, poor appetite, lethargy; repeated vomiting or severe abdominal pain points to pancreatitis and needs urgent care, while bone fragments can injure the gut and show as retching, drooling or black stools.

Stop feeding and watch a mild upset; **contact a vet immediately** for persistent vomiting, abdominal pain or lethargy, or if bones were eaten, and never induce vomiting at home.

Always cook it through, remove skin and bone and add no seasoning; **crispy roast duck skin, the sweet sauce and the bones must never be fed**, duck skin and confit are even fattier, and any treat should stay within about 10% of daily energy intake.
