Hi all,
So I was the one that posted about my recently neutered 1 and a half year
old male that would not stop howling and meowing. So he is now boarding at
my work (vet clinic).
Today we let him out to walk around the clinic ... first of all, whenever he
found himself alone, he would start to howl all over again (not surprising,
but in all my cat years I have never seen this before). And then here's
the big thing.... he walked by a bag of food, turned around, and SPRAYED.
Oh man this really worries me.
First of all, it's only been one week since he's been neutered, so is there
still a chance that it's just his hormones making him do this?
There are two more weeks before we move him into the new house. I've
already decided I'm getting the Feliway diffuser. We are starting him off
in the basement (it's a nice basement, not dungeon), and then will slowly
introduce him to the rest of the house. I want to make this as easy on him
as possible, and I don't want to take a chance that he is going to begin
spraying immediately due to stress. Is there a mild anti-anxiety drug that
we could temporarily use in addition to the Feliway to help calm this poor
little guy (just until he gets used to the house)? I know that he is going
to begin his howling as soon as we move him into the new house... and I
don't want him to get so stressed that he begins spraying. Now I haven't
asked my vet about this yet.... I wanted to get some opinions from different
cat lovers because I know I'm not the only one with a spraying/anxious cat.
Would Clomicalm be a bad idea?
After he is comfortable with the house and we have no "incidents"... we will
introduce my other cat (no problems with this one).
Thanks for any thoughts. This guy has me real worried.

Buspar is what my vet prescribed for a howling, spraying, neutered
Siamese. He cried non-stop all night long. It didn't work
immediately, but it did eventually and he was adopted into a
wonderful home with only one other cat, where he doesn't spray or
howl any more...still talks a lot though. :)
http://www.drpetra.com/Cats/Buspirone%20Use%20in%20Cats.htm
Buspirone (trade name Buspar) is an antidepressant drug prescribed by
physicians; it is a human drug, not a veterinary. It has been shown
to be effective in a significant number of cats with elimination
behavior problems and other abnormalities related to behavior.
Give 5 mg (1 tablet) twice daily for 1 week
a. If there is no response, give 7.5 mg (1 1.5 tablets) twice daily
for one week.
1) If there is no response, discontinue buspirone.
2) If there is good response, give 5 mg twice daily for 8 weeks.
It is a small pill that doesn't taste too bad. Fairly easy to give
depending on the cat.

Chronic DIS-EASE
PROVING The Puppy Wizard's SYNDROME <{);~ ) >
HOWEDY People,
The Amazing Puppy Wizard got no comment
on the medical treatment of your dog's chronic
DIS-EASES EXXXCEPT to say DOGS DIE FROM
THIS STUFF.
You've read The Amazing Puppy Wizard's Archives
so you probably know there's a very real likliHOOD
that your dog's chronic ear infections are similiar in
nature to those of professor SCRUFF SHAKE'S little
chronically ill dog Maxie who is DUE to come DHOWEN
with yet another BHOWET of SYMPTOMS due to
FHOWEL weather causing cabin fever which usually
brings abHOWET a case of obedience training!
Clicker training INCREASES anXXXIHOWESNESS and MISTRUST.
Corrections traininng INCREASES anXXXIHOWESNESS and MISTRUST.
Crate training INCREASES anXXXIHOWESNESS and MISTRUST.
Spay / neutering CAUSES INCREASED anXXXIHOWESNES and MISTRUST.
AnXXXIHOWENESS and MISTRUST causes STRESS INDUCED
AUTO-IMMUNE DIS-EASE aka The Puppy Wizard's SYNDROME
<{); ~ ) >
The Amazing Puppy Wizard URGES you to READ
HIS TEN STEP REHABILITATION program offered
to professor SCRUFF SHAKE for his little dog
Maxie The Magnificent FuriHOWESLY Obsessive
Compulsive Masturbator's CHRONIC STRESS INDUCED
AUTO-IMMUNE DIS-EASES aka The Puppy Wizard's
SYNDROME <{); ~ ) >
Then ASK YOURSELF HOWE you handled and trained
your dog for ordinary HOWEstraining and obedience.
ASK YOURSELF HOWE many times a day do you ordinarily
tell your dog "NO!" or otherWIZE intimidate or
FORCE CON-TROLL of your dog for ANY reason.
ASK YOURSELF HOWE you handle him on lead and consider
any crating or bribing to elicit or force CON-TROLL
of behaviors and you will likely see five or ten DAILY,
almost insignificant instances of random STRESS from
corrections, pulling while leash walking or anXXXIHOWESNESS
from fence running and barking or digging to relieve anXXXIHOWESNESS.
That's HOWE COME dog's IMMUNE SYSTEMS compromise
offering VERY SIMILAR although WILDLY, WIDELY
RANGING, CHRONIC, STRESS INDUCED SYMPTOMS, every
thing from LAMENESS and CRUCIATE LIGAMENT ruptures
and degenerative myelopathies and ENDOCRINE DIS-EASES
to SEIZURES, OCD's to CATARACTS BLINDNESS and even
DENTAL DIS-EASE and "ALLERGIES" and "SPAY INCONTINENCE"
MOST of HOWER dog lover's dog's got a case of chronic
sumpthin or other for THE SAME SAME SAME SAME REASONS.
These HUGE PERCENTAGES of CHRONICALLY ILL
and FEAR AGGRESSIVE SHY and SUBMISSIVE dogs
are NOT NORMAL illnesses and behaivors..
The Amazing Puppy Wizard has over forty
years field observation of problem dogs that
SEZ the HUGE PERCENTAGES of DEATHLY
ILL DOGS amongst the regular posters who've
been here FOR YEARS are NOT COIN-CIDENTAL.
Your reply may PROVE IT at least to you and
The Amazing Puppy Wizard. THAT'S HOWE
COME the DOG LOVERS you're askin are
gonna KILLFILE YOU if you REPLY.
THAT'S HOWE COME The Amazing Puppy Wizard

Or Is It Just NATURAL LAW, Tit For Tat, And All Of
That, Perhaps?
HOWEDY People,
You could train your dog not to EAT POISON or

I don't remember exactly. We went to the higher dose for a few weeks
then started reducing it. It was probably maybe 6 weeks all
together.
