Your cat's change in behavior, such as hiding and acting distant, after receiving a Cerenia injection could be concerning. It's important to consider if this reaction is temporary or part of a larger issue.
- Behavior changes can occur after medications
- Cerenia is generally well-tolerated but individual reactions may vary
- Monitor your cat for additional symptoms
While Cerenia is typically effective and safe for treating nausea and vomiting, some pets might experience changes in behavior or mild side effects. These changes could be temporary as your cat adjusts, but any significant or ongoing changes should be discussed with a vet. Additionally, other underlying issues unrelated to the injection may need to be ruled out to ensure your pet’s wellbeing.
