Hey all,
I'm going to call my vet tomorrow, but wanted to see what any of you have to say about dewormer.
I purchased Sargeant's wormer at the grocery store for our indoor/outdoor kitty who enjoys eating dead things and getting worms. I saw that he was infected and gave him his first of two doses, but he had what I think was a bad reaction to the medication. He became listless and (dare I say this pun) catatonic. I stayed up with him most of the night for fear that he was going to need a speedy trip to the pet E.R. Fortunately he was up and eating by about 4:30 this morning, and has since improved. I'm just concerned with the way he became so sick with an obvious tummy ache.
I plan to call our vet tomorrow to determine if I should skip the second dose, or bring him in so the vet can give him a check up.
Poor little guy. It broke my heart to see him so obviously uncomfortable. Has anyone else had the same experience?
