It's understandable to be concerned when your cat attempts to groom the area where you applied Bravecto Plus. Ingesting the topical treatment could potentially be harmful, especially if not completely dried before grooming begins.
- Monitor your cat for any unusual behavior or symptoms.
- Prevent further grooming by distracting her or using a temporary collar.
- Contact your veterinarian for specific guidance if you're uncertain.
Bravecto Plus is designed to be safe and effective when applied correctly, but it's crucial to ensure the spot is fully dry to minimize the risk of ingestion. If your cat has managed to lick the application area, observe her closely for any adverse reactions like drooling, vomiting, or lethargy. In many cases, if only a small amount is ingested, the risk is minimal, but it's always best to err on the side of caution.
