I am going on a vacation for a few days in November. One of my cats is scared of everyone besides me. He takes fluoxetine every day for anxiety and it took a while to find a method that works for him. He won’t take it in a lockable treat, wet food, or in meat, the only way I can get him to take it is in pill pockets or a piece of cheese when he occasionally gets tired of the pill pockets. I’m worried because he doesn’t come out at all when I have visitors so they probably wouldn’t be able to give him the medication and watch him take it. I also have other cats so they wouldn’t be able to just leave it out for when he does come out incase one of the other cats eats it. I really don’t want him to miss any doses because he develops cystitis from his anxiety and the one time that I ran out he started having issues when he had only missed 3 doses. I found a pet camera with a treat dispenser online which seems like the best option right now but there are still some issues with that. One thing that helps is that he is the largest and most dominant out of all of my cats, he’s always the first one to get to treats but it’s not 100% reliable. I really don’t want to board him because of his anxiety issues, I think he will be the happiest at home where he is comfortable.
