Does anyone else have a cat on Prozac?
Lynxx has had a very hard time adjusting to Luna and Midnight being here. He was an only cat for 9 years and has never showed an interest in other cats. The only reason we ever got another cat, is because we rescued Luna. That started it. Luna wants other cats, she wants to play and cuddle which Lynxx doesn't want. So that's why we got Midnight from my mother's friend who rescued him. Autumn came because my father fell in love with her when he first saw her. Which has turned out to be another nightmare but nothing to do with Lynxx.
Lynxx had stopped eating/drinking/using his box and pulling his fur out. He began wandering like he was lost. We had a vet that we took him to who had no problem charging us for the visits, but didn't do anything for Lynxx.
We've finally had it with them so we took him to a different vet today, she fixed a problem Autumn had last weekend, and seemed to know what she was doing, and actually seemed to care about the animals in her care. So we asked her if we could bring our other cats to her and she agreed.
She said stress is what's causing Lynxx's problem. Which we knew already. That he's so stressed out that even getting rid of the other cats wouldn't help Lynxx, the chemicals in his brain are off balance. She told us about Feliway which we bought after the appointment. Then she suggested trying Prozac, not forever just to get him back on track, get him back eating, and calm him down.
Does anyone on here have a similar situation? Did anyone give their cat Prozac? Did it work?
