Onsior is good to have on hand, being a tripawd even without these particular issues. If they do indeed tweak something, it's gold; we have used it for Purrkins for that reason twice in his life, with our vet knowing, of course.

Im so relieved to hear she did have a good day playing and getting around fine on the camera and that she peed, too!👏🏻👏🏻 I know you are watching her closely, and you KNOW what you are seeing. She might need something behavioral then, like Prozac. I know it is used in many cats, I have zero experience to share on that. I know our kitty vet has her cats on it.

Im glad your husband called, and yes, stay on the 100 mg faithfully, ensuring she is getting her dosage one way or another, and it wouldn't hurt to ask on the onsior. If she doesn't readily eat it.  I know you can crush the pill (I asked our vet) and she said it was okay, I crushed it and added a little churu tube to syringe it to Purrkins. You could do your usual routine it would hide a lot easier. If she has some inflammation, it would help along with her Gaba.

Thanks for this info. The dear girl has been through a lot, but it is essential to remember that this was not only the amp surgery but the exploratory surgery, too.

I pray today is a better day for you all!
Thanks for the update & keep us posted, please

Can you block Discovery from going under the bed? Thats the worst for YOU to have to fish her out of and typical place for our cats to go when afraid or trying to escape. Im sorry things are not 100% yet.

Have you thought about getting the gaba in a different liquid flavor? They can make it in a fishy taste, and she MAY lap it up. You can ask your vet what they have in a compounded form or see where they recommend. I would look into an easier route for you and Discovery that is less stressful for you both.

I use a liquid-flavored med for one of Purrkin's meds and a transdermal for his hyperthyroid, im not sure if you knew they were options, so just in case you are not aware. I also second the pain specialist, they would get to the root of the issue and treat in multiple ways, likely do dry needle acupuncture. I know the money is tight and why its not been mentioned. The second option would be a feline practice that would look at all aspects. I highly suggest the feline  practice for care based on our own experiences, going from a traditional practice and switching to feline-only. There is no comparison. Just know there are other options if you need them and finances allow for. 

Glad to hear there is progress. Another idea you could try to help reduce the stress level is a diffuser, like FELIWAY Classic Cat Calming Pheromone Diffuser.

Thanks for keeping us updated I hope today is a good day for you all! 🙏🏻🤞🏻Discovery is pain free and less reactive when you get home.

I'm going to work on blocking under the bed tonight.

This is not an easy task- I have done it.  It is doable but not 100% jamming all sorts of stuff under the bed she will find a way in there. It's still worth a try; it does help main thing is the middle where she is hardest to reach.

Putting the mattress on the floor solves this issue, but it is a heavy pain in the rear. It's a sure thing: problem solved.

You are not laying on the floor, reaching as she scoots further away before work; the stress on you both is no fun! If you have boxes to break down, you could try to make a skirt. Taping it to the base. You will have to test it, poke, and see if you can get in. It has to be secure and flush to the floor. I know this is all a pain in the arse been there & done that.

Great, you have the diffuser, and I'm sorry I giggled on the husband;) Yes, I think it's a helpful tool.

Im happy to hear Discovery has popped and peed yesterday and sleeping peacefully!👏🏻

Best of luck blocking under the bed
