I could really use some advice here. My poor kitty, Luna, has been acting really weird since I gave her the Nexguard Combo. I’m really worried about her. I followed the instructions carefully, but within a few hours, she started scratching herself more than usual and seems to be extra lethargic. She's usually super playful, so seeing her just lying around and not responding much is really freaking me out. Has anyone else experienced something like this with their cat after using Nexguard? I’m torn between waiting it out or rushing to the vet, but thought I’d ask if this is a typical reaction. Would really appreciate any insights or similar experiences you might have. Thanks in advance, everyone.
Hello there! I'm sorry to hear that your cat might be having a reaction to Nexguard Combo. Let's work through this together.
It's possible for some cats to experience side effects from medications like Nexguard Combo. Common reactions could include mild symptoms such as lethargy, decreased appetite, or mild gastrointestinal upset like vomiting or diarrhea. These symptoms typically resolve within a day or two without intervention.
To help your cat feel more comfortable, make sure she has a quiet, cozy spot to rest and stay hydrated. Offering small, bland meals can be beneficial if she seems interested in eating.
However, please keep a close eye on your cat for more severe signs. These could include persistent vomiting or diarrhea, difficulty breathing, swelling, hives, or extreme lethargy. If you notice any of these symptoms, it's important to seek veterinary care promptly, as these could indicate a serious allergic reaction.

The "Ask a Vet" forum on Dial A Vet offers general information and helpful tips on pet health, but it's
