Does anyone give Buspirone to their kitty to help eliminate urine spraying?
Bud, who is neuteured since 6 months old, has been marking his territory for a few years. He has been on Diazepam for about 3 years. It helps but is not entirely successful. Yesterday I asked the vet to prescribe Buspirone. I gave him 5 mg last night and another 5 mg this morning. I also have to gradually ween him off the Diazepam. Well, about an hour after taking it this morning, he has become really agressive towards the other cats. He's acting really strange and really nervous. I know that taking a new medication takes getting used to but it's nerve wrecking to watch him. The vet said that their was no danger mixing the two medications in order to ween him off the Diazepam.
The vet had suggested raising the dose of Diazepam to see if that would help instead of changing medications. I was hesitant because I'm already not at ease giving him valium. But now I think I will have to because he has no weird side effects with Diazepam.
Your intake would be so appreciated. Thank you.
