It sounds like you accidentally administered an overdose of Albon to your kitten. It's important to address potential side effects and monitor her closely.
- An overdose could be too much for her small size and young age.
- Watch for any signs of distress, such as vomiting or diarrhea.
- Contact a vet immediately to ensure her safety.
Albon (sulfadimethoxine) is typically used to treat coccidiosis and other infections but must be dosed carefully, especially in kittens. Giving her too much could lead to side effects affecting her health. Look out for symptoms like loss of appetite, vomiting, or diarrhea, and contact a veterinarian right away if you notice any issues.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
