Pet's info: Cat | Bengal | Female | spayed | 14 years and 1 month old
My cat kathy had a nasal lavage on Monday. She now shows extreme signs of vestibular symptoms. vet has her on steroids and cerenia. she is not eating at all. i have been taking her in for fluids. can i continue to give her steroids, cerenia, mirtazapine and add dramamine or does cerenia do the same thing as dramamine? she also had her ears flushed out the same day as the nasal lavage.

I'm so sorry to hear that Kathy is having this problem. Unfortunately we can see vestibular signs after ear flushing. Dramamine and Cerenia both help nausea, but they work differently, so if your vet has prescribed both medications, then I would continue them both. I am attaching more information about them below for your reference. https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4952775 https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951529 Good luck! I hope Kathy feels better soon. Thanks for using PetCoach.
