Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 6 lbs
I took my 3 year old cat to the vet today where he was treated for ear inflammation, given vaccines, and treated with Profender as a preventative. He is now acting lethargic and slow and just not really himself. I started googling and saw all kinds of horror stories about profender killing people’s cats both days and weeks after application. Is this a safe treatment and should I be worried for my cat especially with the symptoms I’m already seeing? Please help I’m so scared
