It's understandable to be concerned when your cat is not acting like herself after receiving a treatment for a UTI. Convenia can sometimes cause temporary side effects, like reduced appetite and lethargy.
- Convenia is an antibiotic injection commonly used to treat bacterial infections in cats.
- Temporary changes in behavior, like being quieter and less interested in food, can occur.
- These effects are usually short-lived, but monitoring your cat’s condition is important.
After receiving Convenia, some cats might experience mild side effects such as decreased appetite and lethargy. These effects can be temporary, often resolving within a couple of days. It's a good practice to keep an eye on your cat and ensure there are no other symptoms such as vomiting or diarrhea. If your cat’s condition does not improve, or if you notice any other concerning symptoms, please contact your vet for advice.
