You're noticing unusual lethargy in your dog after administering Interceptor. While some mild side effects can occur, it's important to monitor your dog's condition for any changes.
- Observe your dog's behavior for any additional symptoms.
- Lethargy can be a side effect, but it's generally mild.
- Contact a vet if your dog's condition doesn't improve soon.
Mild lethargy can sometimes occur after administering Interceptor due to its effect on parasites in the body. However, this should usually resolve within a day. If your dog's tiredness persists or is accompanied by other symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, or seizures, it is best to seek veterinary advice to ensure there isn't a more serious issue.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
