My cat hasn't been sleeping much since taking Zorbium, is this something to worry about, Dial A Vet?

Since I started giving my cat Zorbium, I've noticed she hasn’t been sleeping as much. She usually takes her little naps throughout the day, but lately, she seems restless and awake more often than not. I'm concerned this might be a side effect of the medication. Is reduced sleep common with Zorbium, or should I be contacting a vet for further advice?

Answer

It’s understandable to be concerned if your cat isn’t sleeping as much since starting Zorbium. Some medications can have side effects, and noticing changes in your pet's behavior is important.

  • Monitor your cat's sleeping patterns.
  • Check for any additional side effects or unusual behaviors.
  • Consult a vet if concerned or if symptoms persist.

Zorbium, being a medication, can occasionally lead to altered behavior in cats, such as restlessness or changes in sleep patterns. While these changes might not always be severe, keeping an eye on your cat's overall activity and health is important. If the reduction in sleep is accompanied by other worrying symptoms, reaching out to your vet is a good idea to ensure your cat is comfortable and healthy.
