Poor kitty. You are ok to give dewormer with just about any other medication, even same day, since it has very few medication interactions. I would start the antibiotic right away and see if this helps your little furry friend feel better and eat more! Thanks for visiting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and take care.
