We're back!!!! I just posted this in the Health Forum as well, what do you guys think??????? I'm trying to catch up on everyone's day :mrgreen:


Hey everyone, Junior goes in tomorrow for all his shots. It's been suggested over many years he may have "behavioral" issues. A long time ago, he had licked all the hair off his belly to complete baldness. Brought him in and the vet thought he was OCD and recommended we medicate him. At the time..... I thought no way is there anything wrong with him that he needs to be medicated!!!!!! Well, I think I may have been wrong. He's always had some "issues". Like the ceiling fan, if he doesn't look up he's fine but if he does you would think he thought it was truly out to get him! Urinating outside the box and in odd spots in the house started before his FD dx and figured it was just part of it. There are many other issues but it would take to long. He is an indoor/outdoor cat and would normally only use the box if there is foul weather. 2 weeks ago brought in his urine to make sure no UTI. This vet said the same, could be behavioral. Junior has always been a little high strung in general. In 12 years of being his bean, all of a sudden I think I agree. So... does anyone think if he were to go on Prozac it would lower his #'s????????

thanks,
Laura
 
Oh yeah, from FDA data on Prozac : http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfd ... 018lbl.pdf

"Glycemic Control - In patients with diabetes, PROZAC may alter glycemic control. Hypoglycemia has occurred during therapy with PROZAC, and hyperglycemia has developed following discontinuation of the drug. As is true with many other types of medication when taken concurrently by patients with diabetes, insulin and/or oral hypoglycemic, dosage may need to be adjusted when therapy with PROZAC is instituted or discontinued."
 
OK, i pondered posting this question knowing 'yes' would be the answer. Here's the thing, i'm wondering if his anxiety may be the cause of the high numbers. I did a search on here for Prozac and there was one where there was no mention of numbers changing, just how well the cats responded vs other drugs. I think i'm really reaching at this point, but i'm amazed at how much i've noticed about him in the past 3 months. Things that have been there all along but never thought much about before.

Thank you for that post.
