Clomicalm?

[Annette3]

Hi Trace

I live in Australia also and have recently placed one of my cats on clomicalm. My vets charging $60 for a full bottle which is 60 days supply. Further with your cleaning issue, I can sympathize here also- try trigene. You will probably have to ask your vet to sell you this- it's $50 a liter but it's extremely strong Abd you dilute it. It's actually the stuff the vets use to rid the smells and disinfect.

Hope that helps

Hi All,

New to this forum, but I know how you all feel.
I have 3 house cats (2 bengals- M&F and a russian blue X -M) - all gorgeous cats and fantastic temperament. Never aggressive towards eachother or anyone else.

We had a bad experience with a house sitter (didnt empty the litter trays for 3 weeks while were overseas). Came back to 3 very stressed cats and a house that stunk! Lucky we have mostly tiled floors, otherwise carpets would have been wrecked!

We've spent a fortune on cleaning products ... floors, walls, surfaces, blinds, soft materials on the floor (towels, mats etc), computers, TVs, speakers ... nothing has been safe

The 2 bengals are still very stressed and spray alot round the house. Partly linked to the stress, and also neighbouring cats keep visiting, which isnt helping.
We tried feliway before with minimal success, but gnna try it again anyway (cant hurt - right)?

Looking at going on Clomicalm for somewhere between 1 and 3 months - the problem is that our vet has quoted $74 AUD for 30 tablets .... for 2 cats for 3 months is almost $450AUD! Ouch!

Any advice gratefully received! Trace

Just in case anyone out there is reading, and struggling with this same issue, I want to update again.

First, the tin foil and more food, strategically placed, seemed to make a difference. After speaking to a pet psychic (thanks, Karen!) AND watching another marathon of Jackson Galaxy, My Cat From Hell (thanks, Jackson!), I came to realize I might have been medicating the wrong cat, and interpreting his pee issues incorrectly. Sonic is completely off the prozac, and a wonderful, loving, non wide-eyed, boy again.

I put Ari on the prozac, and since then- it has been about 2 plus weeks, have found just a few pee spots. One I know was from Minnie, on my bed, completely unrelated to this 'problem' pee issue I have had since August, last. I totally get Minnie's issue, it is so infrequent, and not worthy of explanation here.

It seemed that Molly was trying to assert her position ahead of Arizona, as the pee areas were often where Arizona would eat. I think the struggle was between these two girls, and Sonic was just reacting to the stress of it all. At least that is what I think right now. LOL.

Excluding Minnie's bed pee (which she has done 3 or 4 times in the 10 years I have had her living under my bed), I have found two or maybe three pees in nearly 3 weeks. That is such a improvement! And, as time goes on, I hope it just goes away completely.

Prozac- my new best friend.
