After applying Bravecto, it's normal for some cats to experience a temporary change in behavior, such as slight lethargy. However, if your cat's behavior doesn't return to normal in a day or two, or if you're worried, it’s important to monitor her closely.
- Monitor her for any additional symptoms like vomiting or tremors
- Make sure she is still eating, drinking, and using the litter box regularly
- Contact a vet if you notice worsening or additional symptoms
Bravecto is a very effective flea treatment and generally well-tolerated by most cats. However, like any medication, it can cause mild side effects in some animals, such as temporary lethargy. Keep an eye on your cat over the next 24 hours to ensure there are no severe adverse reactions. It’s always best to contact a veterinarian if you notice significant behavioral changes persisting beyond a day.
