My cat is on antibiotics and won't eat. Could he be feeling nauseous?

Do cats get nauseous because of antibiotics? Our cat was sick and seems to have his symptoms alleviated by a course of antibiotics, but now has been refusing food.

Yes, antibiotics can make cats nauseous. I recommend to call your veterinarian today and tell them what is going on. They will likely recommend a new antibiotic or medication to make Ludo’s belly feel better. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
