My cat only took half dewormer. Is it effective and will she be okay?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Female | spayed | 4 years and 7 months old

I was giving my cat deworming pill mixed with little water via syringe but she only drank half medicine of what I gave her. She got very aggressive. My question is... Will the little bit that she has already drank still work? Will she be ok?

Hello, sorry to hear about Bella. It may have some effect but not the full effect. If you are still seeing worms, then you can speak to your veterinarian about using a topical dewormer for cats. Hope this helps and best of luck.
