my beloved 17 year old furball is showing signs of dimentia at night. He is meowling (yowling plus meows) from 12:30am-5:00am every 15 mins or so. This has been going on at a steady increase over last year. He just had his physical - all pretty decent but lost eyesight in left eye. Not surprising bc he is ckd, but he’s on amlodipine for ckd. He is getting full blood panel next month.
vet tried him on gabapentin to no avail. Now put him on nightly trazodone.
Can’t find any info online about long term nightly use of trazodone in felines. My vet says I shouldn’t worry about any long term negative side effects, but here I still am, worrying! I know he’s old but don’t want to mess him up with pills at this stage!
FYI, I pilled him a 1/4 tablet yesterday with no noticeable effects. Tonight giving 1/2 based on vet’s opinion. Will keep effects posted! ~Thanks!
