Good idea. You would not forgive yourself if something happened and you didn't. If you have a holistic/alternative vet in the area you might consult them. If not, and if you would like, I have the website of one who will do telelphone consults. Carolyn has used her too. On Jun 23, 2008,

I entered this conversation late, but if this has not been said, then here's my two cents: Sometimes with a cat that WILL NOT take meds orally, you can go to the supermarket deli, ask for a chunk of Boar's Head liverwurst (I believe BH does not contain onion powder, so is safe for cats), take

Hi Kerry, Yes the flouxetine stopped that all together, he didn't mark while he was on it. I kept him on it for about 6 months then took him off it because he was just laying around, thinking it was the flouxetine that was making him lazy, but come to find out that is just the way Cody
