Long story but I'll keep it short. We've had 2 male cats (neutered) for 12 years. Two months ago my daughter moved back home with her 2 younger female (spayed) cats. One of the older boys is incredibly aggressive and is attacking the 2 younger ones. We have had them separated with limited, supervised introductions for 2 months now. You name it, we've tried it. Jackson Galaxy from My Cat From Hell would be proud of the patience and time and $$ we have put into trying to introduce them slowly. Our entire household is being held hostage at this point by 1 aggressive cat, and it's not a good situation, for the cats or the humans.
Monkey, the aggressive older cat, simply will not accept the 2 new ones. Have talked with multiple vets. Finally their vet suggested Prozac (fluoxetine). He gave us pills and Monkey is IMPOSSIBLE to pill. He will not take it with any type of food, treat, pill pocket, nothing. I've tried pilling him but that causes even more anxiety and aggression on his part, so not worth it.
Believe me... we have tried everything, Feliway, playing to the point of exhaustion, introducing through screens with favorite foods, etc. Two veterinarians and multiple vet techs have said we have exhausted everything they can think of. I've talked with people who do animal rescue and foster, and they've said the same thing. Our aggressive cat is 100% not giving in.
I asked the vet Prozac could be given as an injection and he said they didn't do that. So my question... to save our household from complete insanity and breakdown, does anyone here know if Prozac/fluoxetine is injectable, and if so, where I could go about getting it?
