Less than 2.5% of treated cats in clinical trials developed mild and transient skin reactions at the application site such as erythema (reddened skin) and itching or hair loss. Uncommonly, the following other signs shortly after application were observed: apathy (lethargy)/tremors/anorexia (lack of appetite) or vomiting/hypersalivation (drooling). If licking of the application site occurs, transient mild to moderate salivation and coughing or vomiting may be observed.
