I'm so worried....
On Sunday Hunter accidentally got out when DH was walking through the hall
door and Sammy happened to be just outside the door. Sammy panicked and ran downstairs and Hunter chased her under my bed. There were no blows exchanged, but there was a lot of trash talk going on between them - Sammy hissing and growling in fear as Hunter tried to get to her. Then yesterday we had to take her to the vet's to have her anal gland expressed and she was so frightened she urinated all over herself (something she's never done before. She's so upset that she's stopped eating for me - but DH said she did go and eat something (not much) after I left for work this morning (please gawd let this be a ******* cat trick). Does anybody know what prescription medication is used for feline anxiety and what is used to stimulate appetite? -- Hugs, CatNipped See all my masters he http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ |

Nutra Cal is a great appetite stimulator (it comes in a toothpaste tube like
container and you just squeeze a small amount out ...apply to kitty's open mouth or paw if the little kitty isn't cooperating)...I've nurse many a kitty back to health it it...Available at most vets as well as a few pet stores that have a vet on call... Best Success and Purrs headed your way... :-) Liz "CatNipped" wrote in message ...

Hugs, CatNipped Note, if kitty is really resistant, kind of rub it into the paw so they can't shake the paw and send it flying. Better a little bit at a time than a mess everywhere. The cat we used it for the most liked the stuff and would usually lick it off our fingers. Jo |

For a while the Homeopet Anxiety seemed to be working, but being chased and then seeing the vet was just too much for her all in a few days. For being the hugest cat I've ever seen, she certainly is a big wuss! I was hoping to not have to put her on prescription medication, but it might come to that.

Hugs, CatNipped The vet has prescribed an extremely low-dose diazepam (Valium) for Yoda to stimulate appetite. It actually worked pretty fast, IIRC I only gave it to him two or three times. I've read it's also used safely in cats to treat anxiety or aggression. It might be worth discussing w/your vet if she doesn't snap out of it soon. Sherry |

Fortunately my cats have always bonded (or at least learned to accept each other) with a minimum of aggression, and no signs of anxiety. My two now are delighted with each other's companionship. Until Cendrillon arrived, Mélisande was clearly missing Patches (who had to be PTS due to skin cancer). They have their occasional "spats", but those seem to be more play than genuine, they frequently groom one another, and both of them sleep curled together on my bed at night. |

Feliway is *very* expensive (about $45 per plug-in unit here plus pricey refills, and in my house I'd have to have about 10 to cover the whole house). Hugs, CatNipped |
