Q & A
- Q. I have just administered the treatment as described and advised by vet in a place on her back she can't lick but now my cat is foaming at the mouth a bit? She didn't seem to have this reaction the previous time.
- A.
It sounds like she found some way of licking it! A bit of hypersalivation for a short while is probably normal after licking (due to the alcohol carrier), but I'd advise you contact your vet for advice, especially if you notice any strange behaviour (nervousness, twitching, loss of balance etc). If any of these occur, urgent veterinary advice is required.
