Cats and Prozac!

I am so glad it seems to be helping her! Hmm, can you see if you can get it in liquid form, something flavored like something kitties love to eat?

I can, but it's about 4x more expensive so I'm going to try and hide the pills in something tasty first...but I will go for the liquid if need be.

Sounds like a good med for her! Well done giving it a try.

If you need a compounding pharmacy for flavored liquid, I like Wedgewood in NJ. Their pricing seems to me to be lower than Diamond out in Colorado (which is the one my vet uses.)

Even without added flavoring, I find a squirt from an eye dropper easier with my cats, than a pill.

Queen of Poop uses it on her kitty Diego. She got it compounded into a cream which is put on or in his ear. Hopefully she'll weigh in here.

I am glad that Katie feels so much calmer - and I am sure you and your hubby do also!

One of my cats (Oliver) was on it for years and it sure did make a difference! I swore by that drug and I could tell when they changed manufacturer's b/c it did not work as well. Thankfully Oliver likes Pill Pockets so that was not a problem.

I use the RoadRunner pharmacy out in Phoenix for my compounded prescriptions. Their prices are reasonable and shipping is included. Your vet can just phone a prescription in to them and then they will contact you directly.

We have a re-check on Thursday to discuss how it's working and such, so I'll talk to the doc about calling it in to RoadRunner. I've used them before, when Sherpa tried Clomicalm to help with his peeing issues. They were great!

Katie just keeps getting better and better! The vet says we should expect to keep seeing changes for about 4 weeks, then it should stabilize. Katie has now taken to playing with the foster kittens, which is UNBELIEVABLY CUTE! She lays next to their playpen and sticks her paws under the edge, then yanks the back out when the kittens pounce on them! She will do this for HOURS, when last week she hissed whenever the kittens got too close.

We had our re-check yesterday which went OK...but she's still too tense at the vet for them to draw blood, so we STILL don't have any bloodwork on file. We're going to try again in two weeks.
