Ok Folks Tonight is Rumbles' last night on the diazepam He so far
has been weaned down to half a pill every other day Tonight is the last night. 3 years without a seizure just an occasional depo shot Diabetes under control with diet. I am hoping I can keep him off the pills the diazepam has a major side effect of damaging the kidneys and liver I want him to be around for the longest possible being on the pill shaves 5 plus years off his life |

Good luck!! In case he cannot do it, my cat Shadow was on Prednisone for
many, many years (also serious side effects possible). She lived until 17 and died of cancer. Gail "Matthew" wrote in message .. .

Do they have carbamazepine for cats? You might ask your vet. All the best to you and Rumble. Charlie |

The Tuna & Oceanfish works like a charm- doesn't it? I hope you're just as lucky weaning him off the valium. That stuff can crash a cat's liver. Best of luck, Phil |

He was allergic to the other remedies which is why he was on diazepam. Thank you for your input |

Best of luck, Phil Actually Phil it was the Fancy feast diet I use the gravy versions that are not grilled. roasted or in aspic; these versions are higher carbs. It scared me every time we went to the vet I know Rumble got tired of going every couple months and being poked and pricked. I am glad to say the levels were always fine for his liver. But I want him to be with me as long as possible. I want to say THANK YOU again for your advice on the fancy feast diet and all your other input. |
