Hello! Adjusting a cat to new medication can be a bit of a journey, but with some patience and understanding, you can make the process smoother for both of you. Each cat is unique, so reactions to new meds can vary. Some common side effects might include mild lethargy, changes in appetite, or slight gastrointestinal upset. These usually settle after a few days as your cat’s body gets used to the medication.
To help her adjust, try giving the medication with a little treat or mixing it into a small portion of her favorite wet food to make it more palatable. Establish a routine by administering the medication at the same time and in the same place each day, which can reduce stress.
Be sure to watch closely for any signs of distress such as vomiting, severe diarrhea, or noticeable behavioral changes, like hiding or aggression, as these may indicate a more serious issue. In such cases, stopping the medication and consulting with a vet is crucial.
It's important to remember that every kitty might respond differently, so don't hesitate to reach out for specialized guidance. Why not book a video consult with Dial A Vet? We can delve into your concerns more specifically and offer personalized advice for your furry friend.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
