Diego attacked Cali...

[cats4ever]

How scary and awful! I'm glad that Cali's eye is ok. And luckily, you didn't get hurt.
Is it possible that Diego threw up or spit out his Fluoxetine secretly? And I mean for several days. Missing one dose should not make him act like that. If that is even a remote possibility, Diego could suffer from withdrawal symptoms.
You should definitely talk to your vet.
How is Diego acting now? Are they separated?
Again, I'm glad to hear that you and Cali are ok. Best wishes!

Thanks everyone. It was the scariest animal incident I've ever had. I keep squirt bottles around to settle kitty squabbles cause I'm not going to use my hands and risk a bite. Emptied half the bottle, but finally stopped the madness. I just managed to get the second dose of pain meds into Cali. Her eye looks pretty good but I think it hurts from the way she was holding it half open. She can have the next dose in 12 hours. I kept them separated all morning while I had to go out. They've been napping in the same room for the last 3 hours, Cali on the chair, Diego on the couch. Diego is sporting a breakaway collar doused with Feliway. The emergency vet said there are other meds that Diego could take if the fluoxetine isn't doing the job. I will be investing that to be sure.

I found using a collar on Oscar years ago worked very well. He was on a high dose - 3 squirts a day.

That sounds really odd and very scary. Diego isn't in pain or anything is he?

HUGS.

So sorry to hear about that ruckus, cats can be so crazy sometimes Mine still scrap when the mood strikes. I have to agree with the collar idea, very good advice IMHO as well. Lily had to wear one for a month and a half once, I am pretty sure it bothered me far more than it did her. It has its advantages when it comes to healing for sure. All the best
