It's concerning to hear that your dog started vomiting after receiving her deworming treatment. While mild side effects can sometimes occur, vomiting could indicate a more serious reaction and deserves further attention.
- Unexpected vomiting after medication can be serious.
- Some side effects are normal, but severity matters.
- Consider consulting a vet if symptoms persist.
Mild side effects like temporary appetite loss or lethargy can occur after deworming, but persistent vomiting is less common and should not be ignored. Dogs can react differently to medications, and vomiting might indicate sensitivity to the treatment, or it could be unrelated. Monitoring her closely is important, and consulting with a veterinarian can help determine the best course of action.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
