My cat Boo was prescribed Cerenia this afternoon - it's been a long month full of syringe feeding and medications trying to figure out what's wrong with her. I was instructed to give her 1/4 of the 16mg tablet every day. I don't know what I was thinking but while feeding I accidentally gave her the entire pill.
I'm sick with worry, I can't believe I did this. I called the emergency vet and they looked up the toxicity levels and told me Boo should be fine. I asked numerous times if there's any side effects to be looking for - they didn't give me any. After doing some research on the medication I see there are possible side effects (seizures, diarrhea). I don't know what to do. The emergency vet is quite reliable here, but I'm still so worried. Any opinions?
