Hello all. I was curious about others' experiences with mirtazapine gel and the dosage you were recommended. My vet had had mine sent from Roadrunner Pharmacy in AZ, and I received two 3ml syringes. The concentration is 37.5mg/ml, and the dosage says to apply a .1ml dose once daily. I was a little surprised that it is to be given daily, since the pill lasts 2-3 days and the few other reports about the gel I've found mention dosing every 2 days. The pharmacy did describe this as a two month supply, so with 30 daily doses per syringe, that would make sense. I just don't want to overdo it.
That said, it did seem to work after the first dose last night, albeit a little slower than the pill. Kitty also didn't seem quite as hungry this morning like she usually would be after a dose, but I can see where the gel might work a bit differently. Plus she had eaten an entire can of FF overnight on top of two yesterday (yay!), so that might have something to do with it.

Mine never ate that much in a day, not even right after a dosing.
), but she's kept on eating well all evening, so I'm going to hold off on the next dose until at least tomorrow to see how she does. I should add, she had her first dose of chlorambucil about 9 hours ago, so I'll be vigilant to see if that causes any nausea/inappetence.
