Accidentally fed my cat a topical praziquantel dewormer. Called a vet posion control and they said she may have nausea, vomiting, lethargy but that she should be fine after a day or so. I just want to confirm because she has been stumbling, lethargic


I completely understand your concern about your cat's condition after she ingested a topical dewormer like praziquantel. It's reassuring that poison control has indicated she should recover, but the symptoms you're seeing, such as stumbling and lethargy, are definitely worrisome. These could suggest neurological effects or other complications from the ingestion.
Given how serious these symptoms can be, I strongly advise taking your cat to a veterinarian as soon as possible. A vet can conduct a thorough examination and provide any necessary supportive care, such as fluids or medications, to help alleviate her symptoms and ensure her safety.
While you're arranging this, make sure she has a quiet and comfortable place to rest. Keep a close eye on her for any changes in behavior or additional symptoms. It's also important to keep her hydrated and try to encourage her to eat small amounts of her regular food if she's interested.
Having her evaluated by a veterinarian is crucial to rule out any serious complications and to ensure she receives the appropriate care. If you have any further questions or need more assistance, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
