The color change in your cat's liquid antibiotic from clear to pink is unusual and may indicate a problem with the medication.
- Contact your veterinarian for advice on medication discrepancies.
- Discontinue use until you have confirmed safety with a professional.
- Consider discussing alternative forms of medication, like pills.
Liquid antibiotics should typically retain their original appearance throughout their use. A change in color can mean that the medication may no longer be effective or safe. It's important to inform the veterinarian who prescribed it, as they can provide guidance and possibly prescribe an alternative, such as a pill, if necessary. Please refrain from giving more of the medication to your cat until you have consulted your vet.
