My cat had a reaction after being dewormed, is this normal?

Answer by  Tim55 (618)

This is completely normal. Anytime there is a sudden change, procedure or process to an animal or human, there will be some sort of a reactant. As long as they look like they are comfordable they are ok. If not take them to a vet for an evaluation.

This depends on the reaction- if this was temporary shivering, or lack of appetite, you're fine. If this persisted, your cat needs her vet- she may have a toxic reaction. If you home-wormed, she may have gotten sick- worming meds are very toxic and issue is based on weight, age, etc.

Yes, it is natural for a cat to have a reaction from being dewormed. Deworming is a necessary procedure, but the chemicals can be harsh. Your cat will be OK.

It depends on how serious the reaction was. It is quite common for a cat to have diarrhea after being dewormed.
