Hi everyone,
I'm very new to this site, and I have learned much from all of you so far! I am now hoping that I might find out a little bit from some of you who have used behavior meds.
I have two 8-year-old female littermates that are not getting along. Bela has been diagnosed with "redirected aggression" (I took them to a behavioral vet about 2 months ago). I have been patiently following the re-introducing procedures, and I purchased Feliway too. Unfortunately, once I think that the re-introduction process is working, my little Bela has a "relapse" so-to-speak. My other car, C.C., doesn't seem as stressed as her sister, but she definitely reacts to her aggressive sister.
So, I guess my question is: has anyone else medicated their stressed-out kitties, and does it work? I'm desperately trying to get these sisters back together again. I've had them since they were 6 months old, and it makes me sick to think that I might have to find a new home for one of them. I was hoping to avoid drugs, but as I said before, I'm losing hope that anything else will work.
Thank you!
