- Cerenia typically starts working within 1 to 2 hours.
- If symptoms persist or worsen, consider consulting a vet.
Cerenia is generally effective in reducing nausea and vomiting in cats and often begins to work within a couple of hours. However, some cats might take a little longer to respond. It's important to ensure your cat remains comfortable and hydrated, and to monitor for any additional symptoms that could indicate a more serious condition.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
