Foaming at the mouth in a cat after medication is typically a sign that the medication was either bitter tasting to them or it just wasn't pleasant. You can try the medicaiton again, giving it slowly this time and see what response Kitty has. If he foams again, then you can ask your vet if there is another flavor that you can get this medicaiton in, that is more tolerable for Kitty. Best wishes and take care.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! There is nothing over the counter medication you can give her for that purpose safely unfortunately. However, you can consider using a product called Feliway (pheromone diffuser) which can help tremendously to reduce stress in cats and you may get that online or at your local pet store. Best of luck!

Cats metabolize drugs differently that humans, and therefore require a different dose of a drug than a human. I would not compare the dosage you used to take with what Kitty Kat has been prescribed to take. That being said, according to Plumb's Veterinary Drug Handbook, the dose your vet prescribed is a little higher than listed, but because I can't see Kitty Kat in person, the vet likely has a valid reason to using a higher dose. I recommend speaking to your vet about the dose if you are concerned, it's ok to ask them questions.

This would be a question to ask your veterinarian since he or she is more familiar with Bennie's history. That said, prescription anti-anxiety medications ate used successfully in cats. You can also try a pheromone product, such as Feliway spray or plug in diffusers, to decrease any anxiety. A supplement, such as Dasuquin for Cats ( https://www.dasuquin.com/en/dasuquin-sprinkle-capsules-for-cats/ ), may also promote bladder health.

Poor Walter. In some cases you are correct, the opposite effect is achieved and the pet becomes what we called paradoxically aggressive. This is not considered a normal side effect that will go away, but instead an adverse effect which has to do with how the pet metaboilzes the drug altogether. I would recommend discussing with your vet to stop the medication and try an alternative aggression medication at this time. If he has inter-pet aggression, then I would consider trying Clomicalm or Prozac (Fluoxetine) as an alternative. Also don't forget that you have more success controlling behavioral issues with pets when you do both medical therapy + behavioral modification training with an animal behaviorist. https://iaabc.org/consultants Best of luck with Walter and I hope you can get his behavioral issues resolved soon.
