I have used 'clonicalm' for overgrooming. But I didn't like the side effects
of that either. Spraying is such a problem! I'm sure there must be something
to help. Has she tried putting a scratching post or food by where he sprays?

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
