We have tried so many things to get Jasper to stop marking. The latest being Busprion. He's been on it for five weeks. I started him out on half the dose just to make sure he was going to be able to tolerate it. In the past week or so I have noticed that Jasper's depth perception is off. He has fallen several times trying to jump on to the things he's always jumped up on. And then last night he started to open and close his mouth continuously. It scared me. I've never seen him do this before. I followed him around the house until it stopped. Then this morning it started again. Only this time he was "foaming at the mouth" while he was doing it. Then he began to walk backwards, all the time while this string of foam was hanging from his mouth.
I called the vet right away. They said that cats will do that if they are feeling nauseous. Well hell. I can't very well continue to give him the drug if it's making him sick. Truth be known, I don't believe it's doing anything anyway. He'll stop marking for a day or two then start right back up again. He's such a bundle of anxiety. I feel so bad for him. Now I'm wondering; what next? I'm telling you, I can't stand this much longer. He has sprayed every inch of this house at one time or another. I got through bottle after bottle of Natures Miracle or anything else that is on the market. I've tried many of them. Don't know that one is any better than another but I do soak and scrub with each.
I'm at my wits end with this cat. It seems like everything sets him off. I know for sure that the cats next door do. I set up the "scarecrow" in the front of the house last week. That keeps them off the front lawn and does help some but they have figured out a way in the back. It seems like such an endless and useless battle. It's just very depressing.
