Well, finally, after spending $15 on an allergy shot...we have amitriptyline (a Tricyclic Antidepressant sometimes used for anti-anxiety) for Shaka-Bear. It's not spending the money, it's spending money on something that we had already discussed. She said that once he was healed, they were gonna put him on Buspar (a psychotropic drug definitely used for anti-anxiety) or amitriptyline. Then she decided one more allery shot and if after 2 days he was still scratching...just call and we could pick up the meds. So what happened? That night after getting the injection, Shaka started scratching. Boy, what a surprise. So, he has his meds now, and I'm pleased. He is acting much better. Unfortunately, she said that he could be on amiltriptyline forever. I don't want him on medical perscription forever. I don't like giving him 1/4 of a pill daily. She said with Buspar, he would be on in for 2 weeks to a month and probably never need it again..only for any further modification, but not a lifetime situation. Her reason for not doing this 4 months later (see prior blog entries), because he would be out of it...a little fur-blob and he's such a cool cat, we don't really want him to lose his personality.

If his personality would only be altered for 2weeks to a month and then he probably wouldn't need it again...YES, I WOULD RATHER HAVE THAT ALTERNATIVE! Shut off those serotonin uninhibitors! He doesn't need them right now. I want my baby healthy and happy and functioning without life maintenance drugs. He's doing better like i said, but still scratching...a little rough sometimes, but it will take a while for the drugs to kick in effectively...so i've been told. I don't believe my cat is depressed. I think he started scratching and now can't stop. whatever, i guess it just hope it stops and we don't have to continue meds till he dies.

Again, we shall see. I want my Shaka-Bear better, whole; soon.
