Comment:
My 15 year old cat seems to have what his veterinarian calls feline demensia. He doesn't seem to remember that he needs to eat and use his litter box. The vet prescribed 1m of this twice a day. Has anyone ever heard of using this medication on cats. I'm hoping it will help, my cat is failing fast.
