Feeby has been on Mirataz - 1/2 dose every third day - since 11/9. Until recently, this dosage schedule has seemed to make a difference to the point she has maintained her weight - without side effects. But her eating is decreasing again and is not always picking up with a new application. It is even affecting her bedtime 'night cap' of some baby food meat but she will mostly still eat it when my husband gives her some as an early-AM snack. I am now wondering what I need to do differently.
I have heard that its efficacy wears off over time, but is that possible in just two months? I could change her dose to every other day, but I am not seeing that the current regimen is reaping results even in the first 24 hours after application. So, would moving it to every other day even make a difference?
I am cleaning her ears, so I don't think there is a residue build up affecting the next application.
She is H-T and early CKD. Most recent tests (12/7) show insignificant changes in her numbers since her previous tests which were done last July. She is not vomiting; her litter box use is still the same as it has been for months. Her routine has otherwise stayed the same. But she is sleeping more, with her preference being inside a paper bag for most of her daytime naps.
What has been your experience with Mirataz - how frequent were increases needed, when did it stop being effective, and so on? Thanks for any input.
