Behavior
Thank you E'Lise,
The two are part of a multicat household (8 adult to geriatric cats) . Environmental enhancements, behavioral program and manipulations, and Feliway are in place. The Pheromone therapy was instated a few days ago with limited improvement. There is no realistic way to do separation and reintroduction, without further increasing stress and wellbeing in the complex multi-cat home equilibrium... Being that the current dosage of Paroxetine seems to me on the low end (maybe insufficient) recomendation scale and given these two cats are quite corpulent :) I thought they may be underdosed. Reading your uptake on BID dosing I further thought they may benefit from a BID schedule. I will consult with the DMV treating them of course, but since he's not very profficient in behavioral therapies I wanted to present him with your oppinion.
Thanks again,
