Actually now the recommend medication is gabapentin. Ask your veterinarian for some and give it before the visit. With this the cats are just mellow, easy to handle and not as drugged as with the other medications. Diazepam is not used much in cats now due to it causing liver problems. Apromazine can make them sedate but doesn’t reduce the aggression. I personally don’t find Xanax effective. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for your cat.

Hi there and thanks for your post on Boop by Petco! I would recommend calming supplements for your pets that have L-theanine in them which can have a calming effect. I would recommend a product called Composure from VetriScience which comes in a liquid and chewable form. I have the product linked below: https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/vetri-science-laboratories-composure-canine-bite-sized-chews I hope this helps!

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! In general, the active ingredient in this product (acepromazine) is safe for otherwise healthy pets. The main adverse reactions are sleepiness for an extended period of time (like 12-24 hours), and low blood pressure. Always try the low end of the dose range first, and if that is not sufficient, increase the dose. Use as directed on the box or by your veterinarian to make it as safe as possible. This drug is meant for occasional use (like a trip to the vet). I would not recommend it for daily use (except in short term cases like for a few days after a surgery when the patient needs to stay quiet). Hope this helps and best of luck to you and you cat!

Antihistamines are very unpredicatable in cats and have varying but often poor results; the most useful effect is normally due to their sedative properties. There are other medications available for environmental allergies such as immunotherapy injections, cyclosporine which is fully licensed for use in cats and some vets have started to use the newer dog medication oclatinib in cats with some success also. I recommend you discuss these alternative options with your vet in order to reduce her steroid use

In general, antihistamines are not very effective in dogs for itching - so unfortunately, it doesn't surprise me that you aren't seeing much effect with Piriton. You could certainly talk to Lily's veterinarian about trying a different antihistamine such as hydroxizine or diphenhydramine, as some dogs may respond a bit better to a different drug.
