Belinda: looking for advice re kitty prozac
Belindajust wanted to clarify. (It was me who started the confusion,
using the term prozac!)
By prozac (below) stopping it completely, do you mean the fluoxetine
that you used--the fluoxetine stopped it completely.?
If the foaming issue is easily fixed (as it seems to be in everyone's
experience) then it's def worth her trying the fluoxetine again.
Thanks again!
Kerry
That is also what I did with Cody, we started with the most
commonly used of the drugs (amytriptaline), we tried 2 or 3 before
trying the prozac, they all helped but only the prozac stopped it
completely.
We had Cody's fluoxetine's compounded into a transdermal gel that we
rubbed on the inside of his ear. Belinda

Different drugs have different absorbtion rates. We could not do
transdermal prozac wth Peepers because we could not tailor the dose
reliabily when given through the skin. If your vet prescribed a certain
med, ask the vet at thaty time if transdermal is an option.

Re: looking for advice re kitty prozac
was the foaming during or immediately after pilling? gelcaps and a pill gun could fix that - I don't know about the other forms ssri's come in (fluoxetine is an ssri) e.g. pill, capsule, injection etc Barb+Smoky the House Puma+El Bandito Malito "My cat the clown: paying no mind to whom he should impress. Merely living his life, doing what pleases him, and making me smile." - Anonymous - Original Message From: "MacKenzie, Kerry N." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Friday, June 20, 2008 4:40:25 PM Subject: looking for advice re kitty prozac Dear all Has anyone ever used a kitty "Prozac" such as fluoxetine? 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! Kerry _ IRS CIRCULAR 230 NOTICE.

Re: looking for advice re kitty prozac
Different drugs have different absorbtion rates. We could not do transdermal prozac wth Peepers because we could not tailor the dose reliabily when given through the skin. If your vet prescribed a certain med, ask the vet at thaty time if transdermal is an option.

Re: looking for advice re kitty prozac
I used flouxetine with Cody for about 6 months, we never had that problem. I sounds like it probably tastes awful and he is foaming when he gets a taste of it.

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.

Re: looking for advice re kitty prozac
Hi, I've been using Paxil on my cat (per the vet) for inappropriate urination, over grooming and general aggression towards my other cats for a few months now and it has been working wonderfully, with no visable side effects. Polly (cat) I adopted from a free roam shelter several years and is not socialized at all, I can't pill her but luckily (Thank goodness!) she loves Pill Pockets, funny, but my other cats hate them.
