Ally Cat Updates

Yes i understand that you were doing that, just thought i would let people know about the other as it can be a terrible drug for some people and I imagine cats too, cheers.

I have cats on amitriptylin. And YES< the vet said too high of a dose can make them be like zombies. But they are fine. Sterling is a little more subdued than if he did not have the medicine, but in his case, it can be a GOOD thing. The boy is downright PESTY if he spits out one of his pills unknown to anyone! Jim still has PLENTY of spunk after his doses. And Mickey (on a lower dose) also could probably use a little more calming down....LOL So it is not a guarrenteed side effect.

but you know what, I hate to say this, but I would rather have Ally drugged than EVIL! LOL (just my opinion.)

Ditto... and honestly, until you've experienced her, you have NO idea how difficult she is. Difficult... gosh, that's really an understatement, lol.

I found that very interesting reading Jen, and i have to agree only the person who is experiencing Ally's agression really knows what is best for her, i am sure the drug can work wonders for some cats , just as it does for some humans, just wasn't the right one for me lol, just have empathy for any human or cat that felt the way i did,total zombie from morning to night.

I can only imagine you are at your'e wits end and willing to try almost anything. good luck.

It hasn't made her a zombie, or that drugged up. I wouldn't actually want her to be some drooling cat unable to do anything. It mellows her out, and that's what she needs. It doesn't seem to last a full 24 hrs, but that's ok, as long as she's got some relief and isn't as tormented as she normally seems.

Thats good that it just calms her down, she is not on the amitriptylene though is she? just the other medication,some people need calming down , and some cats do and Ally sure sounds like a candidate for that,you have been through an awful lot with her, i am relieved to hear that this medication is helping her some.

This is so sad... poor Alley. All anyone wants is for her to enjoy life and not see people as evil monsters that need to have their eyes scratched out.
