[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 655658, member: 1963"] You're very welcome, Susie. Reglan is Cisapride, and is available from compounding pharmacies as a flavored liquid for less than your vet charges. Ask him/her if they'll write you a RX for the medication. Cyproheptadine comes as a syrup and you might have to get that compounded as well. I forgot to mention putting him on a GI motility stimulant and I apologise for that. I'm glad your vet was on the ball and caught that. Between the liver damage and the not eating, constipation,which can quickly become lethal in cats, is a real risk. The Reglan before meals will help prevent that. That, combined with the gastrocholic reflex (why you have to go potty after you eat) is why he's "performing" when parked in the litterpan. It sounds like you are doing an excellent job of providing the good nursing care that Cap'n needs to recover. [/QUOTE]
