I've never tried periactin. I do believe that injected valium (I'm pretty
sure it's valium I am thinking of) is a great appetite stimulant, but...
it's an injection, so it's something you have to go to the vet for, thus,
not good for anything long term. I do think you should try it, you don't
... other than with a thermometer? What are the signals or signs of
cat who has a fever, even a slight one? I know that feeling the nose
for warmth or wetness isn't accurate, but what about feeling the ears
or paw pads? If they are warmer, does that mean anything? I have a

I have heard this from more than one source. It just came up recently
on the CRF list.
Do not use *valium* in cats unless absolutely necessary and expressly
ordered by a veterinarian. *Valium* has been reported to cause *liver*
failure in cats.
Another source:
One of the most commonly used drugs by veterinarians is Valium. With this
drug, 75% of the cats treated reduce or stop inappropriate elimination.
However, Valium is no longer considered to be the drug of choice. Recent
reports of using Valium have revealed severe and fatal liver
Still more:
The other common anti-convulsant used in cats is oral diazepam

valium given three times a day. Oral diazepam has been linked to a
very rare but fatal idiosyncratic hepatic failure. Most veterinarians
will avoid

you...)anyhow, .I am concerned that the periactin might cause drowsiness,as
some antihistimines do in people. Sam was on winstrol for a long time for

Well, that's bad! I think she's looking for something more long term and orally
dosable anyways though.
They do make cat restraint bags, should you ever come to a point where you have

I have had periactin prescribed for two cats recently. It increased
appetite in one but not the other. (It was prescribed for congestion). I
did not notice increased drowsiness in either, but I suspect it has
different effects on different cats.
