Eating clumping litter that contains sodium bentonite can be lethal because it can solidify in the intestines, if inhaled, can cause lungs to fill, can also block urethras. If the instructions on litter say “do not flush down the toilet” because it will cause blockage, it contains sodium bentonite, and will do the same to a cat. They are not required to say so on the package, why? I don’t know.
Was that your question?

At this point it's probably too late for interferon. That is a good preventative to boost the immune system, but it takes a while to start working. I euthanized all mine at the point they started eating litter, but that is a choice that only you can make. My thought are with you & your baby. I know how hard it is to see them suffer.
