Description
Jessica Kielb Basile and Sara C. Lister told in 2026 of severe kidney injury in three cats after accidental ingestion of oclacitinib, a drug used for itchy skin disease in dogs. Large overdoses above 100 milligrams per kilogram caused acute kidney injury with systemic illness, a prior undescribed toxicity in cats.
Two of the three cats died or were euthanised, while the third healed fully with intensive backing care. Necropsies on the dead cats found no firm mechanism for the kidney harm. As the first case series of feline oclacitinib toxicosis, the report alerts vets and owners to lock the drug away from cats and to treat suspected ingestion promptly with aggressive backing care.
