Hi! Just signed up to ask if any of you have experience using these meds on your furbaby?
Long story short - just adopted a siamese from the local shelter. My boy is 6 yo and got some teeth removed on April 7. I had to give him tolfedine until this morning.
He's also quite nervous and hasn't been eating much. Poor baby was surrendered mid-March and was super stressed at the shelter. He lost a little over a pound, maybe more, over the 3 or so weeks he was ar the shelter (he's at 9 or so lbs right now).
I adopted him on Sunday morning and he has been doing quite great at my house since then. Except he hasn't been eating much and I was really concerned because he's already lost a ton of weight in the past month....
So I gave him a 1/4 (or maybe 1/6, I tried to shave down the pill a little) of mirtazapine tonight, about 10 hours after his last dose of tolfedine. The vet didn't say anything in her notes about a possible interaction, but I didn't get to see her in person when I adopted the cat. Has anyone here ever given their cat a NSAID with mirtazapine before? Is it dangerous to do so?
Cat seems fine (he ate a little!) and more cuddly and vocal than he has been since I got him. But I worry about potentially having done something terrible.... can anyone chime in?! Many thanks!!!
