My 11 yr-old Simba has been diabetic for about 3 yrs. Did well one yr with NO insulin. Within the last 2 yrs my poor baby had all his teeth pulled. This poor baby has been through hell.
His anxiety in the last few yrs has gotten worse. He's constantly attacking my other cat, Shadow. He's constantly following me all over the house. Sits on the couch on my lap every night, sleeps on my neck every night. Wants to go out all the time which I let him out, but never alone. He's always, always supervised outside. I call him yard kitty cause he never goes far and never alone. He's extremely attached to me. My life is this kitty.
MAJOR PROBLEM: He's been spraying my fully furnished wall-to-wall carpet basement which we just got professionally cleaned. Vet started him on Prozac.
He's been on 5mg Prozac for a week now once a day. OMG what a difference. Not following me, not sleeping with me or attacking Shadow yet. To early to say if spraying the basement. His anxiety issues are mostly of wanting to go out. I feel horrible and have cried since he's been on Prozac. He's much calmer...sleeping so much; not having the urge of wanting to go out. I told the vet he seems dazed, but she claims Prozac should not sedate him that much, but I disagree. I'm upset that he's not the same Simba. I just hope my baby is comfortable. I should say his B/S are better since on Prozac.
Does anyone here have experience with diabetic cat on Prozac ?
