Is there such a thing as a support forum for cats?
My poor Sadie and poor me. She either has hyperthyroidism or dementia. I took her to the vet yesterday to have a "senior panel" (blood labs, urinalysis) done. David was embarrassingly obnoxious about paying, but he doesn't understand the magnitude of the issue. I'm praying her labs come back normal. If they do, she has dementia. Sadie is yowling and meowing all night, every night.
After the vet visit yesterday, when we came home she was terribly confused and sat yowling at the front door for literally hours. I held her, I played with her, she liked those, but then right back to staring at the front door and yowling. She was all confused about having been outside, then returning inside. Pacing and yowling or meowing all night REALLY loudly. I use ear plugs, but I know she's upset, so my own sleep was lousy.
I know that Klonopin is given to cats and dogs for car anxiety, so I looked up dosage for a cat her size. I was frankly terrified to give it to her, but I'm also worried that she's going to have a heart attack or stroke from the pacing & not sleeping. So I gave her the Klonopin and - nothing. Didn't calm her at all.
I'm calling the vet's office in a few minutes as soon as they open, to plead for something to calm Sadie until her lab results are in.
