Is it normal for my cat to be super lethargic after Mometamax for 11 days?

My cat has been using Mometamax for the past 11 days, and I've recently noticed she's become unusually lethargic. She's normally quite active and playful, but she's been sleeping more and seems to have less energy these last few days. Could this level of tiredness be a side effect of the medication, or should I be concerned about something else?

Answer

It's concerning that your cat, who is normally active, has become lethargic after using Mometamax for 11 days. While this medication can cause some side effects, it's important to consider all possibilities for her changed behavior.

  • Lethargy can be a side effect of medication.
  • Monitor your cat for any additional symptoms.
  • Consider consulting a vet if the lethargy persists.

Mometamax is commonly used for ear infections and can cause side effects like tiredness in some cats. However, lethargy can also result from other factors, such as the underlying condition being treated or an unrelated issue. If your cat's lethargy continues, it's advisable to consult your veterinarian to rule out any serious concerns.
