I know that some vets are hesitant to prescribe Clomicalm b/c it was originally intended for dogs but, fortunately, my old vet and my new one both see the wisdom in trying it. My cats have been on it for several years now, approximately 6 years or so. I get their blood work done every year just to be safe and they've had no reaction whatsoever from it. Of course, just as humans are all different, so are cats, so I can't in good conscience say that yours will react just as mine have. I can only tell you that Clomicalm definitely works for my Fur Posse.

As for getting your kitty to swallow it, the 5 mg. is so small that it's easy to swallow. If you bend her head back slightly and pop it as far back into her throat as possible, then lightly massage her throat to force her to swallow, it'll be over in a nano-second. It's pretty bitter so try not to get it on her tongue. Good luck and please let us know how you make out. Tell your husband to be patient. Some things take more time than others and there's no reason to get rid of a cat for doing what they naturally do. It'll work out; I promise you. Keep the faythe.
