Profender for Cats (page 4 of 7)

I have six indoor cats and tried this product. The day after I applied profender 4 of them had hair loss! One was pretty bad. I would not recommend this product.

we treated 2 cats with this. One was fine with the product, the other almost died. Skin was burned, cat was nauseous and retching. We followed all directions and this is NOT A SAFE product.

After 1 hour after applying Profender my kitty couldn't stand, couldn't walk straight because of ataxia and tremors. She also started vomiting. Cried desperately. Than I washed it out from her neck and maybe it saved her life. Never use this poison again

4 hours after applying Profender my 2 year old cat could not walk straight (ataxia) and had tremors which in the pamphlet says is more on the rare side of side effects. Now that I have done research there is no way this happens rarely! Of course it is now after hours and I have to wait until morning to contact my vet. I just hope my kitty can recover and not become one of their so called rare deaths from these side effects. I will never try this on another animal again! I have never had issues from the oral panacur given to my pets in previous years (whose side effect list is nothing close to this poison). Shame on me for letting the vet push this garbage on me without researching myself!

It's very difficult to use a spot on product that doesn't drip down the neck when the cat jerks its head after administration. However careful one is to get it on the right spot behind the neck.

I have a camera on my cats overnight. Imagine my horror when one of them (15 years old) started fitting badly :( She'd been given Profender during the day and I know she ingested some of it. She fitted for 2 nights and then it stopped. I have the video clips which I showed to the vet who accepted this was probably a reaction to Profender. May...

After applying provender my cat is distressed and won't come back inside the house. She is obviously in pain and thinks I hurt her. I'm so worried she has some of the reported side effects. It was prescribed by the vet which I find disturbing as the reviews are dreadful!

My cat was able to lick it and he immediately began to foam at the mouth, so I placed a cone on him.

Several hours later he began stumbling like a drunkard (ataxia) and began to have tremors within 30 minutes of the ataxia. I called Bayer and they suggested I wash it off with dish soap. Bayer-Bayer themselves were incredibly friendly; however, I will never use this product again.

Both ataxia and tremors are neurological side effects, and I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't also experiencing hallucinations, vision impairment, or seizures.

After 5 hours of shaking, the tremors subsided, but he is still experiencing ataxia, albeit to a lesser degree, 12 hours later.

If i could give 0 stars I would, am absolutely disgusted this product still on the market. I had a lively healthy cat that I put this product on as a preventative medicine. 30 mins I no longer have a cat. This medicine is pure evil poison. I didn't even get the chance to get him to a vet to counteract the poison before he was gone.

Do not use this product it murdered my cat!!!

I have a semi-feral puss and as tablet giving is an issue I bought this product from the vet and used it 2 days ago. Thankfully my cat did not lick the site of application but he has extensive hair loss. The back of his head and where the product dripped down his neck is now bald down to the skin. Too early to say if he has suffered further but I do not recommend using this product at all.

4 days ago our two cats were treated with Profender by our veterinarian. Within hours they had trouble walking, seeing, wouldn't eat and wouldn't come out of hiding. They screamed in pain if you touched them anywhere near the application site. I immediately washed off what I could of the treatment. We took them back in as soon as we could the next morning. They were running high fevers, eyes were dilated with no reactions. One cat could not walk any more. They kept them for 2 days, flushing out their systems with IVs and steroids. They did bloo...

Have never had a problem with my cats & this product. One of my cats was adopted as an adult and when we tried to worm him it became quite apparent he was NOT used to the procedure at all.. even the vet couldn’t get the tablets down his throat.. profender to the rescue!! Cats WILL froth at the mouth if they are able to lick ANY topical treatment (flea or worming).. you MUST apply high up on the neck where the cat can not reach!

How I wish I had read the reviews on this site before I used this dangerous product. Within 10 minutes of applying my cat Neo was vomiting and frothing at the mouth. Terrified I gave him a bath and washed it off. He seemed to recover ok but today I discover that it has burnt all the fur off the application site at the back of the neck! I am so furious and praying that it has not caused any other damage that is yet to reveal itself.

I put profender on my two cats yesterday evening per the veterinarian.

The application worked well on Black Kitty but Buddy managed to lick it and he immediately started foaming out the mouth. He became anxious, ran around, licked it again, foamed again, was acting strange and sick, etc. Put a cone around his neck, that helped for a bit but he began to scratch at it and lick his paw. So Buddy ate, drank, had a bowel movement and slept well from what I could tell.

This morning, he went out with Black Kitty, spent all day outside. They cam...

I have used profender for a few years now and have had no issues. Works and no side efffects! Ive used it on my own cats plus the strays i feed.

People who write their opinions are turd brains, they must be doing something different to the cat. My cat was never de-wormed, 9 yrs old. Must be people who work for the competitor. contact me,

It's easy alright. Easy to harm your cat! I used it a few years ago and out of 4 cats, it removed the hair from the application site and left the skin red and inflamed. Called the Bayer rep, and what a waste of time. Totally unresponsive, just said "oh we haven't had that problem". Sure they haven't. Don't like Bayer for anything but an aspirin.

This is the worst drug ever made. an otherwise healthy cat has been poisoned terribly. She wont eat at all. pooping just blood, twitches her poor little head. she can hardly walk. and we probably have to euthanize after spending $300.00 to try to fix this. She was given profender 15 days ago. & she is getting worse & worse-I am disgusted. I just pray I know when the right time is to end her suffering. I keep just saying we will give it another day.......

I have 5 cats. Every now & again two of my cats in particular will bring home
gifts of an unfortunate wee mouse or some poor bird. which means the cats have high risk of getting worms so must get treated for worms & fleas & done on a regular basis. People think they're doing th! right thing buying products which state to kill parasites worms & fleas which they will do... all worms except the ones usually caught through hunting... tapeworms.
You need a separate wormer to kill tapeworms..
I buy Profender pipettes from my vet ...

Like so many others on here my cat is having a terrible reaction to profender. His third eyelid starting showing within an hour of applying. I called the vet and they said to call back in a couple of days and make an appointment for Monday. I called the next day to make the appointment. I took him in yesterday and they ran tests. First putting dye in his eyes to see if there was an injury that was causing the third eyelid to show. I assured her that it wasn't an injury it was from the profender. I was charged $30 for the eye dye. They ra...

My vet thought that our 11 year old cat had worms becasue she was constipated and throwing up at intervals of three to four weeks apart.
The vet wanted to give her Revolution and Profender the same day, but I deferred to wait a month in between.
I am so glad I did, or the combo may have killed her immediately, after what happened this week.

First we used Revolution, and waited over a month and then used Profender this past Tuesday.
We gave her the Profender around noon, and by 5:30 p.m. she was foaming at the mouth.
She ate supper and se...

Vet gave this to my cat three months ago. She said is still suffering. Ripping her hair out. So sad!

I took my 18yr old cat to the vet Tuesday afternoon, for a check up. She didn't seem to be gaining weight, and was eating well. The vet decided to use Profender on her, in case she had worms. I took her home and fed her, and she ate well. Wednesday morning, she acted like she wasn't real hungry but ate a little, the same with Wednesday night. This morning (Thursday morning) I went out to feed her, and when she came out of her bed, she was wobbly, and didn't even acknowledge me, nor want anything to eat, and went under the car, crying like she w...

For the amount of neurological side effects this med gave my kitten, it didn't even rid him of round worm. He is still infected the poor thing. Really Bayer? More aggravation for all of our pets, and my kids. I've told my pet owning friends and family to NEVER allow profender on their animal, and getting my money back from vet. Ridiculous!

We are out of town on vacation and a very dear friend was watching our 1 year old cat. He started to vomit and have diarrhea 4 days ago. She found round worm in his vomit and took it to my vet who prescribed Profender. My friend applied the medicine that day. When she went to check on him the next day she found him limp as a rag doll and lying in his own urine. She immediately rushed him to an emergency vet clinic and they started him in fluids and antibiotics immediately as he was jaundiced and hypothermic... very critical condition. After 24 ...

I used this on my cat! He immediately started foaming at the mouth running around the room, going crazy. I threw him in the bath tub and washed him off several times.

He was better the next day but still traumatized!!
