I have two girls in early stage CKD and they need to gain weight. This med DOES increase their appetite. However, I am noticing lethargy, depression and possibly urinary retention. I will discuss with my vet, but I don't think this is going to work for them.
my vet did not have checked with their "pharmacy" and they were twice what you all charged, i have been buying from you for over 10 yrs. food toys, cat stuff you name it. awesome customer service also!
My dog is going through Chemo and has no appetite, the vet prescribed this once a day to help improve appetite and it works!
I rescue cats and have for many years used Cyproheptadine for those which, for various reasons, either don't eat or don't eat enough. This med works like gangbusters. I give it with a small glob of baby food chicken or turkey to disguise the pill's taste and then slowly introduce about 1 ml of low-sodium chicken broth to make sure the pill is swallowed. Both the broth and the baby food are well liked, so the pill is tolerated.
I tried the pills and had it compounded to liquid. My cat finds both extraordinarily distasteful She drools+tries to spit it out rather than swallowing She hides from me all day rather than take it It didn't increase her weight
