It's important to never give your cat human medication without consulting a veterinarian, as doing so can be dangerous and potentially harmful to her health.
- Lethargy: Your cat is more inactive than usual.
- Loss of interest in toys: She’s not engaging in playtime.
- Appetite changes: Monitor if she's eating less.
- Check for other symptoms: Vomiting, diarrhea, or coughing.
Your cat’s sudden change in behavior suggests she may not be feeling well, and it’s best to avoid self-medicating with human prescriptions. Cats metabolize medications differently than humans and what might be safe for humans can be harmful or even toxic to them. Conditions like infections or illnesses require professional assessment to ensure proper treatment. Your cat could be experiencing a variety of health issues, from minor to potentially serious, that need veterinary attention to diagnose correctly.
