Question

Dr. Strydom, DVM · Accepted Answer

The main side effects of ketoconazole are nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. The nausea can cause loss of appetite. Ketoconazole can also cause harmful liver effects so I suggest you talk to your vet about her symptoms. Some blood testing to check her liver values may be needed. https://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=521 Hope this helps.
