Side Effects of Reglan on Felines

Behavioral Changes

• Generally, a feline taking Reglan will not develop any noticeable negative side effects, but from time to time you may notice a change in the behavior of your cat. Some cats will become anxious. According to Pet Health, a common sign of feline anxiety is a cat that normally uses a litter box begins avoiding it and eliminating in undesired locations. This can include spraying in male or female cats or defecating in random locations, such as a laundry basket. Another common sign is aggression toward you and your family, as well as other pets in the home. Cats may also become frantic in their behavior as a result of the medication.

Physical Side Effects

• Aside from the effects of Reglan on the behavior of your cat, you may also notice a few physical side effects if your cat has sensitivity to it. Some cats become drowsy as the medication acts like a sedative. This may be difficult to tell with some cats, because most sleep a lot. But normal activity will be interrupted because of the sedative effect.

  You may also notice your cat developing nausea. Although individual cats may differ, you may be able to tell your cat is nauseous by crying or refusal to eat. Some cats will also develop constipation. According to Feline Constipation, a constipated cat may either be struggling to defecate or not defecating at all. If your cat is showing signs of constipation, you should contact your vet immediately for recommended treatments.

Seizures

• Reglan does not necessarily cause seizures, but it can cause cats that are prone to seizures to have them. Taking this medication can lower the ability for the body to prevent seizures. According to Tanya's Feline Chronic Renal Failure, a seizure can include the traditional seizure where your cat jerks and passes out or less severe seizures where the cat seems to absent, staring off into space. But regardless of the way a seizure manifests, you should inform your veterinarian about it immediately.
