My most recent street rescue has turned out to be the most aggressive cat I’ve rescued in more than a decade. She is completely calm with people- but if she sees another cat she’s after it in total silence and full on attacks. She even tried tonight to run out the door and attack one of our...
For those who have cats on Prozac what dosage are you giving and how long did it take your cat to adjust? My boy has been sleeping a lot more since starting it though today he was awake and playing more. We are on week 3 of 5mg daily.
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...
My cat is 14yo, orange domestic shorthair mail; has pancreatitis for at least 2 years. He was on paxil transdermal for 4 years, then changed to prozac due to constipation. He was still constipated on Prozac transdermal (but better) and he was started on daily Miralax. I cannot be sure exactly...
Yesterday I took our 7yr old fixed male, Sunny, to the vet. He's in good health, but has some anxiety and has been displaying territorial aggression with two of our other cats.
The vet recommended Prozac to help with the aggression. We'll be trying pills first since that's the least expensive...
Hello! My cat Baloo, male age 8, has been experiencing FLUTD for the last 2.5 months. Blood in the urine. We tried gabapentin & prazosin first along with prescription urinary food (calm care from royal canine). But as soon as he would be off the gabapentin the blood in the urine and straining...
Maybe two days, in my experience. My anxious cat, Ori, would hiss and be stand-offish to any cat that visited a vet for a day or two. Since he's been on Prozac, actually that behavior has stopped and last time he actually helped groom the smell out of her! (Of course the prozac isn't long term)...
Help please,
3 year old tabby stopped using litter box. I am her human. I was away for month and half to take care of father on hospice. Approximately a week of returning home, she stopped using litter box. Will pee and poo all over the house in different parts of the house. Has been cleared...

Hey I’d love you to share the outcome…. I’ve just put my cats on Prozacfor anxiety and spraying and they are being super snobs when usually super affectionate :(
If the vet does a thorough workup and comes up with nothing, ask about behavioral meds. Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft are all prescribed forcats and might help, if this is behavioral.
My brother had a cat that would lash out for most of its life. Many years later, his partner remains scared of...
In a similar situation to you. In week 3 of Prozacfor intercat aggression. If the initial aggression was 100%, now it’s probably 25% which is a great improvement. How long did it take for you to see full benefits of the med?
Hi. I have a cat that HATES all other cats. She even ran outdoors the day she was spayed to try to attack another cat. Although, she never peed outside the litter box due to her encounters with other cats - but that is not an uncommon thing with some cats. . My cat also had food anxiety from...
Man I'm glad I stuck to my guns. I'm having to titrate myself by sectioning out the powder (decided I didn't feel like dealing with the office and pharmacy background tells me this is fine) and he's down to 25 mg twice a day. I know it's not his pee cause he isn't licking himself like he used to...
Adopting an older cat, is always expensive, initially. Especially when one has been in the a shelter for a long period of time.
Personally, I would try a bit of the prozac--- at least have it in the house. See how Cosette is a week or so after the script comes in; before you decide to use...
I've had 3 cats on Prozac in the past and all three of them urinated less frequently while on it. So, I think it is for sure just a side effect of Prozac. I mentioned it to two different vets and they did not seem concerned at all.
Hello, so my 4 year old girl cat has been having ongoing urinary issues for like 4 months. She’s been peeing in the litter box 24/7 in small increments, sometimes peeing blood, and crying out a lot as well as excessive grooming down there. I’ve taken her to the vet more times that I can count...
Sorry I have no advice, but I just want to chime in that I'm in the same situation. My cat has been on Prozacfor 8 days now because of barbering and anxiety from another cat. I know it's early, but he's even more jumpy now than before. He has become anti-social and is no longer interested in...
Unfortunately, I am it. And I have 3 other cats who get along. I pulled this girl off the street around 4 months ago- the vet estimates 2.
we are in a tall thin urban house- the other cats are on the top two floors and I’m letting this one live on the ground floor. Unfortunately anyone remotely...
