The dose my doctor recommended for an extremely upset cat was 1/2 of a 25mg pill...that might be too much for one with OCD though. It really calmed Celena down though..she was insane at the time over an outside cat she saw through the window...attacking everyone in sight on the inside. I plan to talk to my vet about it next week.
