I'm sure you know about it b/c you're a vet tech but I was ready to try anything. If he would've said that I had to stand on my head and stack beebees I would've done it. He told me that it might take several weeks to begin working but I saw immediate results. The trick is not to miss a dose. I get their blood work done each year and so far, no problems, no side effects either. They get such a small dose, 5 mg. at bedtime. Specs gets it twice a day; he's a Maine Coon, a big boy, and the troublemaker but I can assure you that he suffers no side effects whatsoever, no drowsiness, no personality change, nothing but no inappropriate peeing.

Before Clomicalm Specs sprayed my dining room server so many times in the same spot that one of the doors actually came off the hinges and it warped the wood. That's what sent me to my vet w/the crying. He told me that it was made for dogs w/separation anxiety and/or aggression but that it was being used successfully on cats. Yes, I was reluctant to try a drug but I was not willing to have my entire home ruined. I'm happy to say that my house is now a "pee free zone". They use the litter boxes w/no problems whatsoever. Perhaps talk to your vet about Clomicalm and see what s/he says. It's been a godsend for me.

Good luck. I truly know how upsetting it is and I can so relate to your anxiety. Keep us posted.
Hi My name is Victoria and I am new, and joined just to talk to you, I had to take in my article of this forum to my vet and come this monday, he will decide on prozac or the clomicalm, even though he said it would be up to me, because it is not FDA for cat (He said it was in other places) Just not the states, so I seen you were from OHIO and told him, This is what I want if I have to order it on the black market, it is either that or get rid of my cat, I have tried effexor, and some other pill. She is a smart cat and is hard to pill, so I was doing the transdermal thing, but it's not working, the doctor told me the prozac comes in a liquid but I dont want to waste anymore time, so should I just figure our a way to get her to take it! And go with the Clomicalm? Your my only hope, please help! Oh by the way my cats name is Ivy and she is a calico app. 9 pounds, This is just making me so sad! Thanks for your time..... ps. have your tried the prozac? Is the Clomacalm expensive? Thanks again Victoira
