It's understandable to be worried about your cat's increased lethargy following an Onsior injection. While some pets may experience mild reactions to medications, persistent lethargy can warrant further investigation.
- Monitor your cat’s energy levels closely.
- If symptoms persist or worsen, consult with a vet.
- Post-injection reactions can vary from pet to pet.
Onsior is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly used to manage pain and inflammation in cats. Although it is generally well-tolerated, every cat may react differently. It is not unusual for cats to experience some temporary lethargy after the injection. However, if your cat's energy levels do not improve or if she exhibits other symptoms, it is best to consult with a veterinarian for a thorough assessment.
