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.

Thank you both, Phaewryn and Belinda (Hi! Belinda, I remember you well-you added Sam's name to the Rainbow Bridge list this past July; thank 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 his appetite; it is an anabolic steroid, and worked well. I frankly did not think about it for Delilah before ordering the periactin............Helene ------------------------------ *From:* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] *Sent:* Friday, January 05, 2007 6:16 PM *To:* felvtalk@felineleukemia.org *Subject:* Re: O/T 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 really have anything to lose. The next step would be either syringe feeding or tube feeding. Phaewryn http://ucat.us The easy way out has a bad reputation.
