So, we have a very stressed out cat in the house; after trying everything behaviour-wise, we've been recommended Zylkene by our veterinary friend. I've seen them for sale at 100 x 75mg capsules for £37 + free first class post delivery on [url= http://www.vetuk.co.uk/dog-behaviour-zylkene-tablets-c-837_427/zylkene-75mg-100-capsules-p-2094 ]VetUK[/url]. The site seems to check out ok and it has a lively enough facebook presence.
Buying these from a high street vet would cost a hell of a lot more than this (I'm sure, but waiting for somebody to come back to me). Anybody else used VetUK to buy pet medication. I'm just worried about paying for counterfeit shite I guess.
My sister used petmeds for her willing dog's various medications.
Haven't tried but have also been recommended pet meds. Why is the cat stressed?
I have used Viovet for online vet drugs for many years. Very good service.

Why is the cat stressed?
Tbh, it's a long story. But previously happy cat meets new baby and is coping (relatively) fine. He's been fine with Molly (our BT) and even rubs noses with her occasionally. Then friends with (crazy) kids visit new baby. Kids get a bit bored with wrecking our house and then decide chasing the less calm cat around the house (unbeknownst to us) for a few minutes might be fun, while shining a bike torch (set to flashing leds) at it. We couldn't find him for around half an hour after they'd left - he'd found one of my dust sheets and wrapped himself up in it. Then spent the rest of the day hidden in the airing cupboard petrified of coming out. He's not been right since. Over-grooming, soiling outside the litter tray, scratching carpets and generally being very nervous.
have you tried a feliway plug in thing?
if it's a boy that's been neutered then watch out for him not weeing and getting cystitis too. Could end up having to have a tube inserted and a stay at the vets.
Another vote for Feliway plugins, stopped my cat getting stressed when I left him. 😥
Feliway's been on since baby came home. 🙂 So they were at a baseline of Feliway anyway.
Sounds like your friends need to keep a better eye on their kids 🙄
Hope it works out.
