Hi,
I'm in a bit of a panic right now. The vet ACCIDENTALLY gave our kitty a Convenia shot. She was supposed to get Serenia, an anti-nausea medication and was given Convenia instead. I was already nervous about giving her a shot and specifically asked the vet if it was long-acting because my kitty's sister (who has since passed) had a very bad reaction to Convenia. The vet assured me that they weren't giving her anything long-acting. Just a shot of pred and anti-nausea medicine.
Upon checkout the assistant read through what kitty received and she said Convenia. I said she wasn't supposed to get any antibiotics and especially not Convenia because her sister almost died from it. NOTE: this isn't kitty's regular vet, who is closed on Saturdays. But we brought her in because she was having a problem with her ears and was shaking her head a lot. Being a holiday weekend, I wanted to make sure she had what she needed.
I don't know what to do. Aside from the fact that Kitty is unneccessarily on a round of antiobiotics which will throw her system out of whack, I'm incredibly worried about her reaction to Convenia. It's the last drug in the world I would have allowed her to get and here they give it to her by accident.
My biggest question is if anyone has given Convenia to their kitties without any adverse reactions? All I can find are negative reactions to this drug.
Thanks for any advice. Trying to stay positive here...
