It sounds like your cat is having trouble keeping her medication down, which could indicate a possible reaction or another issue with how she's receiving it.
- Monitor your cat's reaction to medication closely.
- Consider the possibility of a bad reaction to the medication.
- Explore different methods of administering medication.
Vomiting shortly after administering medication could mean your cat is having a bad reaction to it or it may not be being administered in the most effective way. Sometimes, giving medication on an empty stomach can cause nausea. Try offering a small amount of food before giving her the medication, unless instructed otherwise by your vet. If you continue to see symptoms or have concerns, it would be best to consult with your veterinarian.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
