My senior cat, and beloved baby, Silly is 17. He has ckd but hasn’t really had many ill side effects from it other than very recently, high blood pressure. He is on the highest dose of amlodipine and has gone blind in one eye and I suspect partially blind in the other.
he has always had meowling episodes where he will walk around the house almost looking for someone. But they were short,3 mins or so.
I work from home and he will meowl all day and ALL night now, so he takes 2 gabapentin at 6AM, 2 gabapentin at 6PM and half a trazadone at night as directed by his vet.
And this is still not enough . The AM dose only lasts until 10ish, then he’s meowling on and off nonstop until 6 pm dose. He hardly settles. He will only settle if I put him on my lap and pet him and then he will sleep soundly until I move away and he’s up again.
He has a great appetite and will occasionally settle and loves pets and purrs. I know his quality of life is decreasing with this new behavior but I don’t want this to be the end of my sweet baby. Any medications or ideas?
thank you kindly
