Misty hollers every night all night and keeps me awake. I have tried ignoring and also feliaway which doesnt work. My vet prescribed Chlorphenirimine a anthestimine for sedation today. Read online that a side effect on cats is inability to urinate wh
My first thought is whether Misty has been spayed/ fixed or not as she may be hollering for a mate. If she is spayed, then other sedatives / anxiety medicines may be effective to help curb her night time behavior. I dont have a lot of personal experience using chlorpheniramine in cats, but this class of antihisthamine is relatively safe. The drugs that I may consider dispensing would be gabapentin or amitryptilline. These are both prescription medicines. I have found minimal benefit in herbal remedies in cats - valerian would not be very effective. Royal Canin make a diet called "Calm" which can help with anxiety/ stress behaviors as well.

It looks like it is unknown if chlorpheniramine is excreted in milk - some antihistamines are while others aren't. All antihistamines may have the potential to decrease milk production so for this reason if the kittens are young it may be best to avoid the medication. If Kiko truly needs the medication you could discuss pros and cons of continuing with your vet - the benefits may outweigh the risks in her situation.

Chloramphenicol does have some serious side effects in humans, so it is recommend that humans wear gloves when administering the medication to animals. There are lots of other options on antibiotics, but that should be discussed with your vet based on their diagnosis. We can't make specific recommendations on drugs or dosages as it is illegal for us to do so over the internet in the US.

Benadryl (diphenhydramine) can be used for cats. Other over the counter antihistamines for use in cats include Chlor-Trimeton® (chlorpheneramine), Claritin® (loratadine) and Zyrtec® (cetirizine). You can get doses for any of the above from your veterinarian. Legally, we are prohibited from supplying doses for medications, even OTC meds, in the absence of a physical exam and a VPCR (Veterinarian-Patient-Client Relationship).
