All of the Cerenia packages show "for dogs" even though it is approved for cats for occasional use. There are 12 mg, 16 mg and 24 mg tablets available. The maintenance use that you are considering and I am following are off-label.
If your vet says it is okay, you are probably fine with the...
Personally, I wanted the ultrasound (and possibly an endoscopy) to rule out lymphoma and to gauge the amount of thickening in her stomach and intestines. What we did instead was two ultrasounds (different vet clinics/radiologists/2 months apart) and needle biopsies of two enlarged lymph nodes...
Thank you very much.
I'd venture to guess most of the kitties owned by people on this site are lucky little souls, right? I wish I could make Ms. Eleanor healthy again. It's been tough to accept that she has this illness when she's so young.
Cerenia has become a relatively common medication for treating IBD in cats. In addition to the anti-nausea/vomiting effect, it also has some pain relief properties. The small'ish compounding pharmacy I use (which is mostly a people pharmacy) has more than 100 cat patients with active...
Thanks for the links. Yes, I started with those and considered the raw feeding, too. We went through about 5 months (and about $450) trying different foods before she went on the Cerenia as a maintenance med. She still threw up in those early days taking Cerenia, but less with Cerenia. That...
Yes, she is the declawed kitty! She is the sweetest. Thank you for remembering!
We diagnosed via an ultrasound/biopsies to rule out leukemia.
I am so sorry, I didn't make it clear that we stepped down on the Cerenia over the first 6 days. But yes, given the calming properties of the...
My sweet Maine Coon mix, Eleanor, has been diagnosed with IBD. She is almost 8 now and her symptoms started when she was 6. We got some relief from a hydrolyzed protein food. She has dry stool (no diarrhea), but vomits uncontrollably without treatment even with the HA food.
She has been on...
Thank you so much, everyone! She was declawed more than a year ago. She has used the box to pee successfully several times since I posted - yay! She seems a little more relaxed today, and is now eating better.
I'm still not sure what happened last night with her - I think it must have just...
Hello -
I've been a cat mom for a long time, but have never owned a declawed cat before. Yesterday we adopted a female declawed Maine Coon mix from a private party. It was a little urgent because she was living in a house with huskies that didn't like cats. We've always had great success...
