I use Cyproheptadine all the time for our cats that are sick from bad URI's to FIP. Actually my vet just prescribed it for my baby kitten of five weeks that weighs just a pound. She is having issues eating right now. Precious Pets, Almost Home Association --- wendy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Diane, How are you and Patches doing today? I'm so sorry to hear he doesn't want to eat. I believe it's true that animals live in the now, but I also think they are much more accepting of their sufferings and limitations than we are. They never seem to be saying, why me?. I don't know how

Depending on what the problem is, dexamethasone, a strong injectible steroid, can really help with energy and appetite. The only things it would be bad for, I think, are kidney failure or systemic infection. Michelle

Cyproheptadine is a prescription appetite stimulant. Do not get the liquid; it's as bad as the cherry stuff that Phaewryn ended up with. Tastes NASTY!!! It's all I can offer right now. I hope this turns around soon and Patches starts eating again. :) Wendy --- Diane Rosenfeldt [EMAIL
