At first, I decided not to put her on meds, as it seemed a very mild case, so she recommended Zylkene to see if the condition improved. It worked for a week or so, but then it all came back even worse, to the point she licked her tail so bad it has no fur left on the tip. She started gabapentin today, 7mg each 12h (about 1,5mg/kg); I prefer to ...
A cat with Feline Hyperesthesia will look normal most of the time. The symptoms appear in distinct episodes lasting several minutes each. During an episode, the cat may display the following: Rolling or twitching of the skin along the back (although the movement is in fact caused by the underlying muscles) Attacking, biting, and scratching of ...
3. Purraise. 3. Our little girl "Muppet" (yes that's her name) was diagnosed with Feline Hyperesthesia just last week. Seems about a month ago something changed in one day: She had a huge bout of diarrhea and ever since that day, things have been different. For awhile there around 30-60min before a bowl movement she would start to act nutty.
It sucks to watch and you can tell they are in quite a bit of distress. As I'm sure you saw in your research, there's no one solution for all cats with feline hyperesthesia syndrome (FHS). It could be neurological (brain tumor, neuro changes, seizure-like activity), behavioral (anxiety, stress), allergies (food, airborne, contact), toxins ...

Gabapentin is as much a sedative as a pain killer, according to my cat vet, and you might only need a small amount to calm her as you are not trying to relieve pain. Discuss with the vet the fact that you don't want a knocked out cat and are concerned about that aspect of using it. Mar 23, 2022. #3.
My cat, Haku, is almost 6 months old and has always been very good about using the litter box. He was neutered at 4 months old, and about a month and a half ago he started urinating on piles of towels and clothing, in laundry baskets, and on my bed pretty consistently once a day. I took him to the vet and they gave me a urinary tract health dry ...
And it could be something as simple as a noise from outside that didn't register with you at all, but did with him, and now certain things are triggering it. It's a bit like PTSD, actually. I'm thinking environmental rather than hyperesthesia syndrome simple because a change of environment completely stopped the episodes.
1. Location. Orange Park, FL. Mev13 said: Hi everyone. I have a question that deals with my cat LuLu. About a day ago, my mom noticed LuLu was acting more distraught than usual; she's always been a on-edge/hyper cat. She kept grooming and furiously biting her tail, lower back, and back paws. When I took a closer look, I noticed her lower back ...
Translation: he doesn't necessarily have to be 'stoned' while getting Gabapentin. If the dosage is adjusted downwards, it's very likely that you will be able to find that 'just right' dosage that will control the hyperesthesia without overly sedating him. [I have some experience with the long-term use of Gabapentin.
