Why is my cat wobbly and wide-eyed after Profender dewormer?

Question

Hi, I have recently applied Profender dewormer to my 4 year old cat and it appears as though she may have licked some of it off. After a few hours she now seems very wide eyed as though she is seeing things that aren't there and has a complete loss of balance/wobbly on her back legs. Although she does not seem in too much distress. Could this be a side effect of the product or due to something else entirely? (She has had Profender once before and there were no issues.) Also should we look to cal. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 4 years and 4 months old

I have never seen this as a side effect of the Profender but it is safe for cats to lick, as this has been tested by the company and is a common issue. If these symptoms continue, I'd be concerned she is having a seizure or some other issue, or an atypical allergic reaction to the medication, and consider taking her in for an exam.
