Thank you!Wow, what a great update. So happy to hear that Tim is continuing to do so well as you are weaning him off the cisapride.
Thanks! Yeah, I'm pretty happy. I prepared myself this weekend for the "lag" I was expecting to see after we reduced his dose earlier in the week. Similar to the "lag" that just about sent me over the edge at the end of April. Well, it never happened. Or hasn't happened yet. He's been pretty consistent between 23 and 26 hours since his dose reduction. Who knows, maybe he won't go tomorrow. But it won't matter. I do believe he's in charge now and it's just a matter of a few weeks, hopefully, before we're done with cisapride.
Hey, good stuffGlad to read that you are doing supportive things like the SEB, psyllium. This will keep Tim in good stead as you continue with the transition.
Thank you!
Great news.
Thank you!
I love hearing good news!
Great advice! I've never had a cat on cisapride, but I've read that its something their bodies can become dependent on. When this is the case, an abrupt stop could really wreck havoc. Your approach was/is a great example of how it should be done. Hats off to you!I would caution anyone considering weaning a cat off cisapride to do it with a veterinarian. Even though the vet who prescribed it said "no" to taking Tim off cisapride, I found another vet who was willing to work with us to try. But I could never have gotten this far without her guidance and without the support of everyone here. Truly, there were times I was ready to give up and resume regular cispride. I still have those thoughts on occasion. But we're so close and we need to see it though, to see if Tim can manage without cisapride.
