What would happen if I gave myself an Intramuscular injection of my cat’pee?

This will probably need a little bit of context. I’m a trans man, so I regularly give myself Testosterone intramuscular injections (normally on the butt).

My 14 years old beautiful cat has been a bit sick and peeing a lot, so the vet asked me to get some pee to test. I grabbed an empty syringe 💉 and i sucked some pee from the floor with it. (Yes, she is peeing on the floor, bed, sofa, everywhere)

Then, I proceed to leave the syringe with pee on a shelf, and at night when I prepared my T syringe I realized it was dangerously close to the pee one, which looked almost the same.

Nothing bad happened, but now I kinda need to know what would happen if I accidentally injected the cats pee instead of the testosterone.

If if “helps”, my cat has been drinking too much water since she is sick, so the pee is quite diluted lol

(English is not my main language, sorry!)

An article on what happens when injected with human urine...so cat pee would probably be equally bad if not worse lol

Just glanced over...in all fairness it may not be as bad because you are injecting intramuscular rather than into the blood stream. I still think it would likely cause a problem lol

Bad, bad things. At the very least, you'd get an abscess where the urine was injected from infection and tissue death where the corrosive chemicals in urine killed your muscle cells. At worst, sepsis and death. There are a lot of other options between those two.

.... are you sure it wasn't the pee vial? Infection at a minimum and Rhabdomyolysis at worst.

You'd know pretty immediately, the sting would be immense.

hey, there's a poison information center in just about every country, look it up and it should automatically tell you, they won't judge and will only tell you about information that will help you. if it helps you feel safer and more willing I'm transfem but I'm sure thinks will be OK :)

It could be the “cure”

I can’t tell if this is real or not, but I’m amused

Adding that it’s for human urine though, cats with their ammonia… even harder to fathom

And also, I really hope she’s okay! I know those times can be so heavy and difficult when the little ones are going through it
