I wormed my cat yesterday with Drontal and ever since he has just been a bit off, very sleepy, jumpy and antisocial, his appetite is still as strong as ever but he has been having slightly soft but pale poo's, (he does have a sensitive tum at the best of times)

Is this possibly a side effect of the wormer, do you think he'll come good when it's all out of his system.

ive used this for years with no probs,never heard of any bad reactions either.softer,different colour poo after worming is common,maybe something else has made him a bit off

Is this the first time your cat has been given Drontal? How old is he?

Kitty has a sensitive tummy but she's never reacted to a Drontal tablet. She's more likely to react to being restrained and having a tablet shoved down her throat! lol

He's about 16 weeks and I think this was his first drontral wormer as I think he was wormed with milbemax (sp?) before, I was told to give him 1/4 of a tablet and I stuck it in a little bit of chicken as he is very food orientated to save the stress of trying to shove it down his throat.

You could always ring your vet tomorrow for advice which they don't usually charge for.

I think if he's still off tomorrow then he'll be taking a trip in to the vets, I just don't want to stress him more than is neccessary.

The Drontal tablets make my lot vomit so we have to use Milbemax. With some cats it makes them feel sick. Hope your furkid feels better soon.
