Can someone make me feel better about Mirataz?

2 Upvotes

To preface I have severe OCD and medication is one of my main themes. I’ve had horrible reactions to meds in the past including ssris and even otc cold meds.

Anyways my kitten was seen at the vet today and they put mirataz on his ear and also sent him home with some because he’s had lack of appetite after a move.

I’m afraid to touch him at all after reading about the dangers and side effects and it’s stressing me the hell out to be honest. Anyone else have anything to share that may make me feel better? I know you need to wear gloves to apply but I feel afraid to touch him even hours after application without gloves because I feel the medication will still transfer and affect me.

Thanks.
