It's important to monitor your cat for side effects while she's on Cerenia, as with any medication, there can be some adverse reactions. If your cat is not acting like her usual self, it might be related to the medication or another underlying issue.
- Lethargy or fatigue
- Loss of appetite
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Hiding or unusual behavior
Cerenia is generally well-tolerated, but like all medications, it can have side effects. Changes in your cat's behavior, such as lethargy or a loss of appetite, could potentially be a side effect of the medication. However, it's also important to consider other factors such as stress, changes in her environment, or another health issue. Always consult your veterinarian if you notice significant changes in your pet's behavior or health.
For continued concerns or if new symptoms arise, consider booking a consultation with Dial A Vet for personalized advice from a professional veterinarian.
