Lethargy is a common side effect observed in dogs after receiving a Cytopoint injection. It typically occurs within the first 1-2 days following the injection and is considered a temporary response to the medication. The duration of lethargy can vary from dog to dog, with some experiencing it for only a few hours while others may show signs of lethargy for a full day or two.
It is important to note that lethargy is generally a mild and transient side effect of Cytopoint. Most dogs will return to their normal activity levels within a couple of days. However, if the lethargy persists or worsens, it is recommended to consult with your veterinarian as there may be other underlying causes that need to be addressed.
In some cases, dogs may also exhibit a diminished response to Cytopoint over time. This suggests that their immune system is developing antibodies against the medication, leading to a reduced effectiveness. It is not yet fully understood why this occurs in certain dogs, but it is important to monitor your pet’s response to Cytopoint and discuss any concerns with your veterinarian.
