Well, this is a new one for me.

I am an advocate of medicating pets for short terms. Sometimes cats need to relearn habits and relax and get over the old ones. Amitriptyline works wonders............ and is easly administered if compounded into a cream for the ear.

I should use it on my own ears some days, here at the office.

Good luck with the new food.

Right now Miley et al are eating Science Diet Hypoallergetic and it is $44.50 per 10 lb. bag! Miley was just given some new meds that are to help bring her natural flora in her intestines, back in to fighting shape. She will be on the med for a month. None of the other cats are taking the meds but they are eating the food and liking it!

Fingers crossed for your girls.
