RE: OT-need advise

[Chris]

First time, vet told me to give it to him about 1 ½ hours before visit—well, he sort of got mellow by then but was REALLY mellow about 3 hours after taking it.  Next time, I gave it to him about 2 ½ hours before visit.  He was sort of sleepy & high for about 5-6 hours after taking it.  He was a lot less tense about it then I was!   Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hideyo Yamamoto Sent: Friday, March 18, 2005 12:40 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: RE: OT-need advise   That’s good to know as well – do you remember how long it takes to be in effect, and how long the effect will last?   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Barb Moermond Sent: Friday, March 18, 2005 10:20 AM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: OT-need advise   I'd go with the acepromezine if it won't alter any of the blood levels.  Smoky was on that for a few days during his cystitis outbreak and was fine - VEEERRRRRYYYYY mellow.
