This is continuing the Story of Festus (cat being treated for aggression) . . . so now he won't take the Paxil compound created for him by a local pharmacist, even though "great success" was predicted by the pharmacist. We've tried everything w/ the Paxil - he won't take it. It's been a week and a half of trying pretty much everything (mixing it with treats, Pill Pockets, etc.). Trying to give it to him manually has been a nightmare, and I'm afraid we're just going to provoke another attack. We've been following all of our behaviorist's instructions, but I still feel like we're just waiting for the next attack. Honestly, it's not about the money, but we've literally invested hundreds of dollars in this cat, and I don't know what else to do. If we can't get the medication into Festus, I don't know how I'll ever feel safe having him in the house with our toddler (or a future sibling).
Sigh.
Sigh.
