I gave my cat two doses of Revolution Plus by mistake, is that bad?

This morning, I accidentally gave my cat two doses of Revolution Plus because I forgot I had already administered it earlier in the week. I’m worried if this could cause any side effects or harm, given that it’s an extra dose of medication. Could you please advise if I should take any immediate action or monitor for specific symptoms?

Answer

You accidentally administered an extra dose of Revolution Plus to your cat. It’s understandable to be concerned about any potential side effects or harm from this additional dose.

  • Monitor your cat for any signs of side effects.
  • Be on the lookout for unusual behavior or symptoms.
  • Consult a vet if you're unsure or if any symptoms arise.

Revolution Plus is a commonly used preventive medication and while an extra dose might be concerning, it is generally unlikely to cause significant harm. Monitor your cat for any common side effects such as digestive upset or changes in behavior. If your cat appears normal, she is most likely fine; however, vigilance is key.
