Last night (Tuesday 28th june 2011) I gave mt cat her first 1/6 of mertazapine at 19.15 hours by 23.00 hours she was in the emergency vetinary hospital. My cat willow was diagnosed with lymphona three weeks ago today and since had a mass removed from her intestines and two sessions of chemotherapy but has no appetite and will not eat by herself, so this drug was prescribed. The vet has warned that it was not vetinary approved but commonly used for cats with cancer. Willow became limp in her body and yowled and yowled and yowled, so i called up the emergency vet they said monior her for and hour.....she quietened down but after about 20 odd minutes the yowling wouldnt stop yet she was still just laying limp in same spot. I took her to the emergency vet and they said she had a bad reaction and was dehydrated, she was dribbling and looked spaced out! They said they would put her on a fluid drip immediately and she would saty over night.
Now next day (wed 29th july 2011) I phoned the vet and spoke to a different one who said she had never seem a cat react so bad to this drug and we would have to look at other options to stimulate her appetite. She wasnt sure if I would be able to take willow home today but said I could go and visit her, she is still on a drip.
