More Liquid Problems...

[phesina]

Well, let's see now, things have been happening..

I gave her her first dose of Prozac yesterday, another today. She's to get it one dose (1/2 10 mg tab) by mouth every 24 hours.

And I set up one of the litter boxes with some non-clay litter.. not the one she usually uses but the one next to my bed. I just now picked her up (which she does not like, and she growled), and took her and set her down in the box with the new litter. She growled again and jumped right out and dashed off. I hope she at least knows it's there now and decides to give it a try.

I picked up a jar of Dr. Elsey's ULTRA Litter Attractant, featuring Cat Attract. (Would I do better if I can find the Cat Attract stuff itself to put in the litter? They didn't have it at the two stores I went to today.)

I also got some Cosequin (haven't tried it on her yet; instructions say 1 capsule sprinkled on food) and some treats with "6 beneficial ingredients for HIP + JOINT." I did give her a few of those, which she liked.

She hasn't gone again on my bed or outside her favorite litter box.

One step at a time, or something...

Thanks for suggestions and encouragement from Galaxy and me (and Sparkler too, of course)!

Pat, you are such a great mom to your kitties! You will get it all straightened out.
I am not familiar with the cat attract stuff. I'm glad that so far you have not found any more puddles.
Hugs and headbumpies to you and your kitties!

Well, I found that Sparkler likes the new non-clay litter!

Pat, I hope you won't have to give Galaxy Prozac for long. In any case, you have to find out what it is that helps (if it does help).

I'm glad to hear Sparkler likes the new litter, hopefully Galaxy will, too - and no peeing on your bed or outside the litterbox.

Sending good thoughts and hugs to you all.

Ysy, glad she likes the new litter! That's one piece of the puzzle in place!

Well, I hope that Galaxy will try the new litter out and like it! She hasn't peed ..inappropriately again, so far anyway.

Thanks, Heidi and Randi and Karen!
