It's natural to feel anxious when trying a new medication on your pet. Profender is a common spot-on treatment for cats, and it's important to ensure it is applied correctly and that your cat does not lick the application area.
- Read the instructions carefully before application.
- Apply the medication to a place your cat can't reach to lick.
- Contact a vet if you observe any adverse reactions.
Profender should be applied directly to the skin at the base of the cat's skull where she can't lick it. If your cat manages to lick the area, it could potentially cause illness, such as drooling or nausea. Monitor your cat closely and if you suspect she has ingested some of the medication, contact your veterinarian for advice. They might suggest cleaning the area with mild soap and water to remove any excess medication that remains on the skin.
