Valium....

I'm supposed to give him one whole pill twice daily. I gave him one this morning and have yet to give him the second pill tonight. I might just split the pill for the evening to see what it does. It is supposed to relax him so he can relax his eurethra (sp?) and I thinks it has worked too well! He's definately relaxed -- too relaxed!

But you said above that he hasn't been in the litter box all day? Has he had enough fluids? Is he so relaxed he can't find the box?

I would give him just half a pill and see how that does. What color is the pill? That would tell me the dosage. Different color=different dosage.

I never worry about him and the litterbox when I don't see him in it. He's a very private boy and I never, ever see him in the box unless he's sick. Then I constantly see him in the box. So the fact that I haven't seen him in the box all day is a good sign as far as I'm concerned for him. If the reason he's having trouble peeing is because he's not relaxed enough... well thats a non-issue right now because he's one mellow stoned kitty.

The pill is white and looks mighty large to me. I'm giving him half of one tonight and in the mornign and will see what difference that makes on the poor stoner.

Lori, I'm glad to hear that Ripley had the same reaction and your vet approved half the pill

Poor Pouncer!!! I'm glad that Lori has had experience with this procedure. I would try reducing the dosage too! Good luck!

Even though I've never had any experience with this,my first thought was that the dose was too high. I hope that he'll better tomorrow. Good luck.

It really sounds like he is being overdosed.... I would only give him 1/2 a pill in the morning and 1/2 in the evening... If he is still so out of it, I would half that until he was NORMAL... I am sure kitties are like us humans, their bodies react differently to medications. Some having a higher tolerance than others for a medicine. I would do the 1/2 a pill for a week and then try uping it to a whole one, giving his body time to get use to it... All he may be able to handle is a half of one. It is not a one dose covers all. I learned that myself when I was on some drugs that knocked me out and made me goofy...
