Monitoring Your Cat After Depo-Medrol Injection

Observe your cat closely for the first 24 hours. Note any changes in appetite, urination, or defecation. Check for unusual lethargy or increased thirst.

Monitor your cat’s behavior for the next week. Look for changes in activity level, mood, or interaction with you. A slight increase in appetite is normal; however, significant changes warrant a vet visit.

Regularly inspect the injection site. Watch for swelling, redness, or discharge. If you notice any signs of infection, contact your veterinarian immediately.

Keep a detailed record of your observations. This information is invaluable for your veterinarian. Note the date and time of the injection, along with any changes in your cat’s health. A simple logbook will suffice.
