Appetite Stimulants |

Anabolic Steroids - For example, Winstrol. May help with regaining muscle. Slight appetite enhancement. Cyproheptadine
(Periactin) The vet
may recommend 1/4 of a 4mg tablet or even, like in our case, 1/2 of
a 4mg tablet, but in many cats this is WAY TOO MUCH. Try 1/8 of a 4mg
tablet to start off with. Signs of too much is: pacing, hyper, agitated,
howling, vomiting, weakness in the back legs, confusion, and falling.
Better to start off slow. Catnip Raw Liver - Yuk, but cats seem to like it! Cut in small squares about 1/2 inch or smaller in size. Don't cut long strips... don't want to choke on it. Reglan Valium
(Diazepan) 5 mg. tablet. dose: less than 1/4 once or twice a week. The effects last for several days. (Possible negative effects, weakness, wobbliness, liver toxicity) Valium is not recommended for long term use.
