We had two cats, but one passed away in December. The one cat left, Posey, has been a ball of anxiety since. We’ve had a lot of commotion in the house this spring with getting our house ready to sell (workers, realtor, etc).
In January she started crying in the middle of the night, all night, every night. We we took her to the vet to confirm it was nothing physical, and just her grieving her sister. The vet prescribed Gabapentin to help her at night. We started by giving her half a pill in the evening and half a pill in the morning. After about 2 months the Gabapentin didn’t seem to be working anymore so we went back to vet where they increased her dosage to a full pill, twice daily. Here we are a couple months later and again I don’t feel like the medication is working for her. We still have a lot of commotion in the house (realtor, inspections, appraiser, etc.) and soon we will be moving out of state with her. She doesn’t like change at all so the move will be hard for her.
We have a call in to the vet to see about other options, but thought I’d ask the peas for ideas. She does not like feliway spray and actively runs away from areas/things with that smell. She’s hiding under the couch as I type this.
