Hi all...I’m so happy to have you to turn to.
I have 5 cats....all 4 years & under. One neutered male, 4 spayed females. All have lived relatively peacefully together since kittens. I’ve posted before, I’ll just refresh. My 2 year old female (Boopy) is being bullied by 2 other females and my 1 male. My male started fighting with her a year ago, but I thought I had it under control. Water pistols on every floor, a harsh “NO!” when needed. I just figured it would work itself out. WRONG! I went away for a week in July. I had a pet sitter twice a day. When I got back, I noticed all my flower pots were knocked over. Boopy was inappropriately urinating and had scabs all over her. THREE of my cats wanted to kill her :-(. I have tried re-introduction, Feliway plug ins, Royal Canin Calm Food, CBD oil, Jackson Galaxy’s Bully Solution. I have had Boopy separated in another room for 3 months. There is a screen door and I’ve had to put plexi glass on the screen because the three aggressors are trying to rip it open to get to her. (I’m getting anxiety while I’m typing this.) My vet hasn’t had luck finding a home for my baby, and I really don’t want to go that route. I love her and I just want this to work. She’s still urinating inappropriately in the room where she is being kept. I have an exercise wheel in there for her. Today I took it out because she’s pee’ing all over it.
So I went to the vet today and got kitty Prozac. I’m going to put the 3 aggressors on it. Question: the vet says not to put the victim cat on it. What do you guys think? And... has anyone had good results with Prozac?? What can I expect? Please share! I’m starting tomorrow and I’m so nervous. The vet said it’ll be a month before it kicks in. This is my last resort :-/
Thank you so much for any input.
