Tell the vet. Most likely she's having a bad reaction to the medicine.
Good luck!

Like with humans, antibiotics can have varying side affects. Cats often have very sensitive stomachs and the antibiotics probably are making your cat nauseous. When my cat was on antibiotics it gave him very bad diarrhea.
Be sure to CONTACT YOUR VET ASAP! He will be able to give you advice and possibly even change the medication. If your pet is not drinking water, he could become dehydrated and get sick very fast. It is important to seek your vet's advice on this one.
In the meantime, try giving your pet a different kind of food--perhaps a more desirable and yummy canned variety. Continue to offer your pet water to drink to keep him hydrated.

Call the vet immediately. Your cat my have an allergy or just be experiencing side effects. They may switch the medicine so that your cat doesn't get sick. I would call them right away!

Call the vet and tell him. He can give your cat something else.
