Senvelgo® Oral Solution should be administered once daily, at about the same time each day as directed by veterinarian. Can be given with or without food.

Senvelgo® should be given directly into your cat’s mouth with the provided dosing syringe or placed on a small amount of wet food your cat will eat completely (approximately 1 to 3 teaspoons of food). The dosing syringe fits into the bottle opening and has a body weight scale to use for measuring the dose. The body weight scale on the syringe is made to give the amount of Senvelgo® prescribed by your veterinarian. Follow your veterinarian’s instructions for how much and how often to give Senvelgo®.

Remove the cap from the bottle and gently push the end of the dosing syringe into the bottle opening.Turn the bottle and syringe upside down. Pull the plunger back and fill the dosing syringe to the dose prescribed by your veterinarian. Turn the bottle upright and remove the dosing syringe from the bottle. Put the end of the dosing syringe into your cat’s mouth and push the plunger to give the dose. Or put the dose next to or on top of a small amount of wet food. Do not mix into food. If Senvelgo® is put onto food, make sure your cat eats the food and the entire dose.

If your cat vomits within 30 minutes of giving the Senvelgo® dose, your cat can be given the same dose again. If your cat vomits more than 30 minutes after giving Senvelgo®, do not give Senvelgo® again until the next scheduled dose. After dosing, replace the cap on the bottle and close tightly. If needed, the syringe can be cleaned with a clean, dry cloth.

Give the dose as soon as possible. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with the regular schedule. Do not give two doses at once.

Your pet may experience vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, dehydration, poor appetite, and weight loss. Other side effects may occur. If you notice anything unusual, contact your veterinarian.
