Hi,
My cat Tripper's been on Zylkene for over 2 weeks at this point. The vet suggested that he take it to help with his stress levels. I have no idea if it helped or not, since the 2 weeks after he was given it, he had an e-collar on and was on all sorts of drugs. Right after I removed his e-collar last week, he started scratching himself quite a bit. He was exhibiting all the same signs of allergy he had during the latter part of his cystitis episode 3 years ago. It subsided, but then came back. I spoke with the vet and they suggested I give him chlorpheniramine, and it definitely helped. Since then, I've noticed he's looked subdued.. depressed.. inactive? He is just not the insane, energetic kitty from before his bout of cystitis. And at this point, I'm not sure if this is what the zylkene supplement does or if he is just not feeling well. And it's hard to tell if he was like this prior since the e-collar made him very subdued. He was not interested in playing or doing anything except sleep, with the e-collar on.
I'll give my vet a call tomorrow, but I guess my question to you guys is, for those who gave zylkene to your cat, did their personality change completely?
