This is about his onset time, but it is also bed time, so I'll set an alarm just because I did increase his dose tonight.

I am not sure that I would be in a big hurry to discontinue the meds. If he is doing well, you could start by tapering them off slowly to see how he does. For instance, if you are giving 1/2 tablet Ondansetron twice daily, try going to 1/4 tablet twice daily, then 1/4 tablet once daily, etc. I would do the same thing with the Bupe. I wouldn't stop everything cold turkey at once. It has only been a few days, I think, since he became ill? You don't know if he looks better right now because his underlying condition has been resolved, or if the meds are making him feel better.
They said pretty much exactly what you said Linda. That if he is better, that is a really fast recovery, and that the meds might just be making him feel better, and that I should probably continue the meds for awhile. Something about some cats need it for months. They also said (like you said) when I start to wean him off the drugs to try 1/4 tablet of the Ondansetron twice daily, and then 1/4 tablet once daily.
And they said that the 0.05cc of bupe I have been giving him is a teeny dose.
They also said that the cyproheptadine can cause droziness. That's what I was afraid of. Especially mixed with the Bupe wooziness and wobbilyness.
So, I gave him the 1/2 tablet of Ondansetron and the 0.05cc of Bupe tonight and will lay off the appetite stimulant tomorrow and see how he eats and feels without that, first. Then, if he eats fine, and seems to be doing a little better each day, I will start to reduce the Ondansetron.
I asked them about the bupe continuation, but got no response about that.
The hard part for me is going to be calling the vet and saying I WANT a refill on the drugs I ordered. I just feel like they think I was TELLING THEM what to do, and not like their "normal" clients who do what THEY SAY to do. But, I only have 5 1/2 tablets on Ondansetron left and maybe it will be easier now that the test result is back.
Oh well. beddy time. Ni~Ni and thanks again for your help and support.
and then later he slept in his big doggy bed and Ginger slept in her little kitty bed, so we all slept separately. Today, he seems fine. He has eaten his 1st Breffis. I gave him his Ondansteron this morning, and will give him the bit of cypro, and tonight I am thinking of stopping the meds.
