convenia cat - PETS
The vet ACCIDENTALLY gave our kitty a Convenia shot. She was supposed to get Serenia, an anti-nausea medication and was given Convenia instead. I was already nervous about giving her a shot and specifically asked the vet if it was long-acting because my kitty's sister (who has since passed) had a very bad reaction to Convenia.
Understanding the Context
There is a craze to give Convenia for everything, sort of like what is happening with sedation now for things it should not be used for and was not needed for. I have talked to numerous people whose cats and dogs died after convenia and they have to live with that pain forever because they weren't consulted and or warned about the side effects.

Yet despite it having major problems no owner has ever questioned my decision to use it.
