I just got home from another vets office and TA-DA!!! Irwin is now on Clomicalm!
The dr said she didnt know why the other vet said they wouldnt prescribe it because it was for dogs, she said there is a cat dosage too. They also prescribe prozac but she said shes seen more success with dogs with prozac and with Clomicalm with cats.
She said there is a paitent there who actually is on both.
He hadnt had bloodwork done since July, so they did that and a urinalysis, but sent me home with the meds. She said we'll re check his blood in 6 months. And she explained how we needed to be patient with the Clomicalm it may take time to work, and it may not start working til week 3.
But Im so happy!! I found a vet that is experienced with this. And the staff was so nice. The secretary also has a cat on Clomicalm.
On a side note, everyone says how big Irwins head is.....the Dr said his jugular veins are terrible, they had to get blood from his back leg because his neck is ALL MUSCLE!
