What they asked
Female cat, spayed, aprox. 9.5 lbs, 4 years old. Was lightly misted with Off Clean Fragrance Free (it was mistaken with flea and tick spray). It was wiped away immediately after with hands then within aprox. 5 minutes I wiped her down with baby wipes. She ran to hide because she disliked sprays and being cleaned. About 5 minutes later I wiped her down with a wet towel and lightly scrubbed her whole body. Her eyes looked normal and her behavior fighting off the wet towel was also like normal. She has a lot of hair, the spray was not sprayed directly on her skin or in her face although I wiped her with the towel and cleaned her face after her body just to be safe but not sure if I messed up by doing her body first. Is there any serious risk or will she generally be ok?
The next time you have a situation like this I recommend calling the ASPCA animal poison control help line. They have very knowledgeable people that can help with these situations. The cat should be fine if that was a picaridin spray and you quickly diluted the product after the fact.

Ask Dylan a questionAnswered from your description alone, without examining your pet. That makes this general information, not a diagnosis, treatment plan, or prescription, and it is not intended to establish a veterinarian-client-patient relationship. There is only so much anyone can tell from a message. For guidance specific to your pet, book an appointment so a vet can examine them properly.
