    fluoxetine not as affective anymore, cat is very fearful. help!!!

    I did talk to her vet about this and he didn't mention adjusting the dosage. I think for her weight she is on the highest safe dosage. I've read it's very easy for cats to overdose on fluoxetine so I'm hesitant to give her more. My vet said if the fluoxetine isn't working properly we could try...

    fluoxetine not as affective anymore, cat is very fearful. help!!!

    Nothing new is going on outside. There are birds chirping. I don't know what she can smell aside from plants. We don't live near any restaurants or anything like that that she could smell. The neighborhood is mostly pretty quiet. I haven't black lighted the interior but we have been living...

    fluoxetine not as affective anymore, cat is very fearful. help!!!

    I do think the initial moves are probably what triggered it, even though it seemingly happened over night. When I moved her she seemed perfectly confident and happy and played, cuddled, and acted like herself. Then one day I came home from the store and she was cowering and being fearful of...

    fluoxetine not as affective anymore, cat is very fearful. help!!!

    We have already talked to our veterinarian behaviorist. The weird thing is she is ONLY fearful of my cat Toulouse. Nothing else at all is triggering her. I have a dog in the home and the dog gets near her and wags her tail and smacks her in the face sometime and it doesn't phase Luna at all. We...

    Thoughts on Dr. Pierson?

    So I have been using the catinfo.org website for many years now, ever since my cat developed urinary issues at the age of four. He is now 14 and has early kidney dysfunction. Hes been on a wet food diet since the urinary issues started. I used to think Dr. Pierson was really reputable and...

    Amitriptyline for cats?

    Thanks so much for your input. Toulouse has had chronic urinary issues since he was four. He and Luna lived together for two years and there were no issues. It started after we moved :( And it is very inconsistent. I will try reading other people’s experience with the other meds and see what...

    Amitriptyline for cats?

    Hi all. If you go back and read my previous posts you will see that I have been having issues with my blind cat Luna. I have tried every calming product on the market, spent hundreds on a cat behavioralist, taken her to the vet multiple times and nothing has helped. My vet put her on gabapentin...

    My cat is still having high fear and anxiety. It’s been over a year at this point.

    luna is blind so she cant see anything. we have tried a baby gate though but she hisses and growls at him still and still cried when she was alone. we have tried not confining her but when she comes anywhere near him or even hears him make any noise she starts growling and skulking around the...

    My cat is still having high fear and anxiety. It’s been over a year at this point.

    forgot to put this in my last reply and this might be a stupid question but is ignoring a cats crying going to cause her to be more anxious or cause aggression or anything? i kno that is a thing with human babies so i didnt kno if that was something cats do also
