Hi Heidi,



My Jonny Cat doesn't do the tail chasing thing. His problem is severe "rolling" of the skin on his back and a lot of twitching. He used to attack me or one of the other cats when this occurred, but not since he has been on medication. I believe that hyperesthesia can be painful and he was just taking it out on whoever was closest to him at the time. Jonny Cat is also a sprayer but this no longer happens as long as he gets his clomipramine.



Amitriptylline was a decent drug at one time to use in cats but the side effects are troubling. Besides the obvious, it can also affect the heart.



Jonny Cat gets a quarter of a 20 mg.tablet of clomipramine every night. Most cats start with 1/8 of a tablet.



Regards,

PHKitkat
