Belinda: looking for advice re kitty prozac

2008-06-24 Thread MacKenzie, Kerry N.
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.

Just curious, can other drugs be made into creams to be used in
the ear? I have a 24 pound foster cat with a bad URI, and he had to
spend a week at the vet (at a cost of over $300) because I absolutely
could not give him oral meds. Can this be done with Clavamox or Baytril?

  I tried amytriptaline (that's probably spelled
 wrong!) on Ruben for 
  inappropriate urination.I now believe that it was
 his first signs 
  that something was wrong with him internally
  My daughter used the same drug (we had it compounded
 into a cream we 
  could rub into the ear...pilling was out of the
 question) on one of 
  her male cats...her cat became more calm, but I'm
 not sure it 
  completely solved the problem.
  I have heard people are having great results with the
 plug ins that 
  release certain pheremones that are calming, but I
 haven't tried them 
  yet myself.
  Good luck, it's one of a cat owner's biggest
 problems!!

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 is.  
He does mark on occasion, every few months, nothing like before.  He 
used to mark all over the house several times a day, everyday.  The 
first med made it less often, the second even less often, but the 
flouxetine stopped the behavior completely.  I was told that half the 
animals using it would go back to marking if taken off, but decided to 
give it a try.

I decided not to put him back on it because I can deal with marking 
every few months, if it gets worse I would put him back on it.
