I have not! I'll try this one immediately.
Just replying to say to make sure you ask and confirm with a vet because random lemmy users are not medical experts and you could kill your cat
You can also talk to your vet about Apoquel. It’s nominally only for dogs but it’s sometimes used for cats. It’s kind of expensive, but is the same cost per pill at several different dosing strengths. So if you do go that route try to get your vet to prescribe it at a level where the dose is 1/4 tablet and buy a pill cutter.
Apoquel really reduced my dog's face itching, which he addressed by viciously rubbing his face on things like blankets and couches and anything else.
It costs about $160 a month. Worth it, but damn that is a lot.
I get it at Costco for about $64 for 30 tablets, which is 4 months when you’re using a pill cutter! But my dog is small and can have a dose of 1/4 tablet for a large dog. If you have a large dog then that’s no good. (But all cats are small so OP could go my route)
Ah, the 'Murican stereotype of ignoring the fact that a person might not be American. You just default to believing everyone online is in the US and it never stops being both hilarious and infuriating. You're doing a great job at proving Americans are dumb as fuck.
Costcos exist in 14 countries, thanks.
Certainly prices can vary regionally, and the retail pharmacy options near you may be different than those near me, but that doesn’t make it irrelevant for me to share a tidbit about how I happen to get something for a good price.
But you’re right that Americans are dumb as fuck. That’s a problem that goes all the way to the top.
Take some deep breaths, someone is trying to be helpful here, not condescending.
Besides, they gave the amount in $, which kind of implies US.
It is a Boston terrier, ao on the smaller side. We don't have Costco nearby but they will be building one in the next couple of years so I'll try to remember to check that out.
Make sure you dose it accordingly!
