It's understandable to be concerned when your dog remains lethargic and is not interested in food after a Cerenia injection. While some dogs may experience mild lethargy, significant changes in behavior should be monitored.
- Cerenia can sometimes cause tiredness in dogs as a side effect.
- If your dog's behavior doesn't improve, it may indicate other health issues.
- Monitor for additional symptoms or worsening condition.
Cerenia is commonly used to manage nausea and is generally well-tolerated by most dogs. However, reactions can vary, and some dogs might experience lethargy or a lack of appetite temporarily. If your dog continues to show signs of lethargy or refuses to eat, it would be wise to consult with a vet to rule out underlying issues or complications.
