this is a cat with end-stage cancer and any of the possible side effects could be dangerous:
Lethargy.
Depression.
Vomiting.
Diarrhea.
Decreased appetite.
Hyperactivity.
Trembling.
Neurologic signs (such as seizures or incoordination)
From its own label: Serious side effects (such as seizures, incoordination, or death) are more likely in animals that weigh less than 2 pounds, are younger than 8 weeks of age, or are already in poor health.
