It’s great that you’re taking proactive steps to help your cat recover from her fungal infection with Itrafungol. It's essential to monitor her for any signs indicating she might not be tolerating the medication well.
- Watch out for decreased appetite or lethargy.
- Observe any signs of vomiting or diarrhea.
- Note any unusual changes in behavior or appearance.
Giving your cat medication can be stressful, but knowing the signs of potential side effects can help you act quickly if needed. Common side effects of Itrafungol in cats include gastrointestinal upset such as vomiting or diarrhea, and in rare cases, liver damage. If you notice any of these symptoms, or other changes such as jaundice (yellowing of gums or eyes), contact your veterinarian immediately.
