I totally agree with Nina on this seek your Vet's opinion and options on this. I have very good luck using "Cyproheptadine" as well on kitties that weren't not eating. In a message dated 4/24/2007 12:43:36 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Mary, There have been concerns raised with the use of valium for kitties. I've used the appetite stimulant Cyproheptadine made into a transdermal gel to be applied to the inside tip of a cat's ear. It's much less stressful to administer a drug in this way than forcing them to ingest it. I strongly suggest that you speak to your vet about the different options that would be appropriate in helping Cakooie begin eating and for further diagnostic/treatment plans. I would also suggest that you ask your regular vet for a referral to a board certified Internist specialized in the care of cats. While we on the list are well meaning in offering suggestions that might benefit you and your cat, you need to seek the advice of a professional who will be better able to advise you on protocols and medications indicated. Print out our emails and archive suggestions and arm yourself with questions on how to best help your Cakooie. Please make the appointment asap.
