Emily- I don't find the vets prices here in Cincinnati to be competitive. Kroger sells this rx for $4.00, and I have heard others say that Walmart () does, too. CVS was $15.99 for the exact, same rx.
SAS- I accidently stumbled upon KAK's comment that she splits the pill pockets into quarters. I thought she did it to make it smaller, not stretch out the pockets- not that that isn't a good reason. BUT, I found that a whole pill pocket, with a 5 mg dose of prozac was just too chunky for my cats. So, I split it, put the pill in one half, let that be gobbled up first, and then give the second half for good bahavior.
AND, I can't stress this enough...first thing in the am is USUALLY a hungrier time for my cats. I found that if I put down the pills, in front of both Molly and Sonic- at the same time....they both gobble up quicker, as they don't want to lose out. I have ten cats...I am VERY careful about making sure Sonic and Molly are the only ones close to the meds, and wouldn't turn my back for a split second when doing it this way.
I just talked to Medusa about upping my boy Sonic's dose to 10 mg a day. My vet was slightly aghast at the amount. But, it is working. It has been a while since I have found anything that seems fresh. And, I don't notice a single change in Sonic's behaviour.
Good luck, and keep drinking!![]()
