If the cat has vomiting symptoms, the poop scooper should also collect the vomit in a clean container and bring it to the doctor so that the doctor can make a more accurate diagnosis;

Secondly, if the poop scraper determines that the substance the cat accidentally ingested is not irritating or corrosive, he or she can also try to induce vomiting in the cat.

Finally, scavengers should pay attention to whether there are toxic substances adhering to the cat's hair to prevent the cat from licking it and aggravating the poisoning situation.
