Your concern is understood, and while your cat's licking of Bravecto Plus is not ideal, it's important to monitor her closely and know that most incidents like this do not lead to serious harm.
- Monitor your cat for any unusual symptoms.
- Most small exposures result in mild, temporary side effects.
- Contact a vet if symptoms worsen or you are concerned.
Bravecto Plus is designed for external use, and it's always best to prevent pets from ingesting it. However, a small amount ingested may cause mild signs such as drooling, vomiting, or a decrease in appetite. Keep an eye on your cat for these symptoms and provide access to water to help flush out any residual product. If symptoms become severe or you feel uneasy, contacting a veterinarian for advice is always a good step.
