Hi all,
New here but my female cat (9 years old around 15lbs) was put on Prozac at my request due to increased anxiety and over licking her stomach. She has been on it about a week. Since about day 3 I’ve noticed she holds her urine for more than 24hours sometimes up to 36/48 hours. She is eating and drinking normally, snuggling, not hiding. Playful when she wants to be. When she does finally decide to urinate she will go in and out of all of the litter boxes multiple times before she eliminates and it is a ton of urine. She has also taken to laying down in the covered litter box every once in a while.
Does anyone have any experience with this or any suggestions on what to do? I don’t believe she is blocked it just seems like this is a side effect of the Prozac because prior to this she would urinate at least twice a day and defecate once. That has definitely stopped.
We have feliway going, other calming sprays have been sprayed. Clean the boxes every day. I’m just concerned and will talk with the vet but I wanted to know if anyone else experienced this.
Thanks!
