Checkup Time

[Queen of Poop]

Cali and Diego are scheduled to see the vet a 1 pm today, in about 40 minutes. Last night Diego attacked Cali, yes, even on Prozac, lately he's been a little hellion again. So Cali will get her checkup, shots and her wounds addressed and Diego may need either a higher dose of prozac or something else.

Oh, Diego, now you've done it! Now you BOTH have to see the white coats. Will you never learn? My sympathies for Cali ... Good luck at the vets, everybody!

[phesina]

Oh dear!

Hope it all went well, kitties. Now, behave, Diego!

I'm sorry to hear this. His system may have gotten used to his current doseage so it doesn't work the same as it used to. I hope that the vet visit goes well. Please keep us updated about them.

The vet visit did NOT got well. The minute I brought them thru the door Diego started growling. I gloved up with my leather gloves and kept my ski jacket on to hold him for this exam. He was simply AWFUL. He is going to get a higher dose of the prozac and see if that does the trick. If not, the vet suggested that there are lots of NICE kitties out there that need a good home.

Cali is ok, need to watch her for infection. She's such a sweetheart. How can brother and sister be so different.

So now my dilemma is, what do I do about Deigo if the meds don't work? How can I allow the abuse of Cali to continue. I was abused in my marriage, the fact that I am allowing my boy cat to abuse my girl cat has me tied in knots. I don't want to give up on him. I love him. But I used to say that about my husband too. Oh, this is just making me sick.

What else have you tried to calm Diego down? I know some Pet Talkers have had success with some floral essences ...

I hope the Prozac does the trick. Is you place big enough to be able to keep them separate during the day while you are at work? How does he react to a spray bottle?
