Why is my cat wobbly and wide-eyed after Profender dewormer?

That is not a typical side effect of a deworming treatment, and I would be concerned that something else is causing Lucy to behave this way such as an illness or injury. Keep a close eye on her for now. If this behavior continues over the next 30-60 minutes, gets worse, or she develops other signs such as disorientation, confusion, vomiting, or severe lethargy, take her into a vet right away. Good luck, I hope this helps!

Profender is absorbed rapidly through the skin into the bloodstream and ultimately reaches the gastrointestinal tract where it is effective in killing susceptible parasites (roundworms, hookworms and tapeworms). Profender will kill susceptible parasites that are present in the intestine at the time of treatment. Cats should receive treatments every 3 months and kittens should receive treatment at 8 and 12 weeks and every 3 months thereafter to prevent future infestations. Reinfection can occur from the environment and contact with other infected pets. She may not vomit any worms or pass them out of the stools. It depends what stage of the life cycle the worms are in and which species of worm you are referring to. If you don't see any worms it does not mean it is not working. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions feel free to post again.

Thank you for visiting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. What you describe definitely sounds like tapeworms. I am sorry to hear that Toby sounds like he is having an adverse reaction to the tapeworm medicaiton. This sounds serious. I would highly recommend taking Toby in to your vet to have him treated for an adverse reaction, which includes fluids for flush out his system and and symptomatic treatment. It’s best to take him in right away if possible. I hope that your pet Toby is able to make a full and speedy recovery. Best wishes and take care.

These products don't usually taste good, silly Belle! The most common side effect would be hypersalivation, nausea, and vomiting. If you start to notice muscle tremors or seizures, then Belle should be evaluated by a vet immediately.

If Ollie is within the weight range, he should be fine. Monitor for drooling, lethargy or twitching. You can always wash him with some Dawn dish liquid focusing on the area of application to remove the product. This is most effective if it is still wet.

Advocate does not treat for these specific type of worms- tapeworms. And tapeworms come from your pet either ingesting an infected flea or eating another pets poop that has tapeworms in it. You can give the profender a minimum of 2 after giving another topical flea preventative, since it is an intestinal worm treatment only. So if it has been at least 2 full days now, you can go ahead and apply the Profender and its best to keep Morph on Advocate monthly to prevent re-infection. I hope that you resolve your flea problem soon! Best wishes and take care. : )

More information on the actual medications used would be required but it is never recommended to use multiple flea products, or to repeat more frequently than recommended dosage as cats are very prone to overdose side effects. Please arrange an emergency veterinary assessment and take all label/packaging information with you
