My cat accidently got essential oil on her fur, not a lot.i read that it is toxic and I tried to wash it off immediately with water and baby soap. She isn't vomiting at all so far but I have noticed shes shaking like there is a muscle problem or she is getting the water off of her. It's 5am here and i dont know what to do...

Thank you for contacting PetCoach with your question about Alice. You did the right thing by washing her right away. Try to dry her off further to see if that helps with the twitching. Keep her as quiet and comfortable as possible. If by when the vet opens she is still shaking, take her into one right away to get checked out. I hope this helps!
