Kerry,We use amitryptaline at the shelters and I have 2 of mine on it right now.Mystique has a piddle problem and Xander an attitude problem.I use the compounded form on Xander and the pill on the other. Also when I first started giving Mystique the pill she drooled and foamed badly.I now cut them in halves and put them in the little gel capsules so she cant get a taste of the pill if I dont get it in the as good as I should.Matbe the Prozac is bitter and thats why her cat foams.

One of my co-workers whose cat has always been a sprayer--and she's had him for YEARS, kudos to her---was thrilled when 1/2 tab fluoxetine daily fixed the behavior almost immediately. Unfortunately he began foaming at the mouth at the same time, so she stopped using it after a few days. Does anyone have any experience in using an alternative "prozac" that worked for spraying without causing foaming or other adverse side-effects. She says she's going to the vet to ask about a different one after she returns from vacation, and I thought I'd try picking your brains before she went. I think it's wonderful that--unlike so many people--she's committed to her cat despite his spraying. I have a sprayer too, but he's feral, so there's nothing I can use (he's not into any sort of treat on a regular basis, and he turned his nose up at Pillpockets) apart from a dividing line between him and the cause of his behavior, my other cats. He has his own loyal buddy, a female, Momcat, so he's pretty content on the whole, I think. Anyway, thanks for any other "prozac" ideas!
