Me and my Festus issue again . . . I'm wondering if anyone out there has had genuine success with Paxil (as a treatment for aggression in cats), and could you share your story? I'd also like to hear the un-success stories, if there are any of those.
The whole Festus thing is starting to cause tension between me and my husband - he loves the cat but is really concerned for our daughter ("what if he really hurts/scars her, what about a future child, is it fair to have an animal that mostly lives in confinement, etc."). I know all of his points are completely valid, but my heart is breaking over the thought of giving up Festus. So, I'm interested to hear if Paxil has really helped (or not) others in a similar situation.
By the way, I'm going to pick up a pill syringe tomorrow and also have a call in to our behaviorist re: making a compound, as it's now Day 2 and Festus pretty much has no Paxil in him.
