Convenia side effects
I have a cat who had her teeth cleaned about a month ago. After the cleaning she didn't seem to recover that fast. I took
her to the vet the next week and she said a gum was a little red, and that could be delaying her feeling better. It could be
a little infection. She gave her an antibiotic.shot. She still didn't improve and I've taken her back to the vet 3 more times for tests
and overnight stays. She has been lethargic, not eating much and not interested in much. A recent test showed diabetes.
So I am giving her 2 shots a day of insulin. She still hasn't improved. A friend yesterday asked about the shot and whether
it was Convenia. The invoice showed it was. She said there have been a lot of bad side effects with Convenia. She fosters
and sometimes fosters cat have URI. She won't allow the vet to give Convenia. She does the daily dose. I read about
Convenia online and there have been. I didn't see diabetes as a side effect so I am asking if anyone has had a cat where
diabetes cropped up after a Convenia injection? Olivia was fine with no problems before the teeth cleaning. Her blood
test before the cleaning showed normal blood sugar. I am thinking of getting a 2nd opinion.
Thanks for your help.
