When Flea Treatment Takes an Unexpected Turn
This 5-year-old mama cat was brought to AVCI after suddenly becoming wobbly, twitchy, restless, and unusually aggressive.
Her signs were consistent with fipronil toxicity, possibly from accidental licking during self-grooming following the application of a topical tick and flea product.
Cats are expert groomers… sometimes too expert. 😿
She was admitted for decontamination, seizure control, supportive care, monitoring, and treatment of other health concerns.
Good news: her neurologic signs improved within 24 hours, and by day 4, she recovered and went home stable. 💛
After applying any tick and flea product, observe your pet closely. If they become wobbly, trembly, weak, restless, or “not themselves,” seek veterinary care right away.
Please visit the clinic for proper evaluation.
