The purrpodcast is back with Dr. Jessica Quimby, a famous cat internal medicine specialist at THE Ohio State University. She teaches, runs the clinical medicine service and does research in her specialty, feline nephrology focusing on weight loss and appetite stimulation in cats with renal disease. Did you know gabapentin was excreted 100% by the kidney? Mirtazapine, the relatively new drug, comes in many routes of administration and dosing and can cause toxicity, including extreme vocalization, tachypnea, tachycardia, being restless and frantic. This is more common in the oral and compounded forms and less likely in the transdermal form that is FDA approved in the US. Cycloheptadiene is the antidote but weirdly enough they both seem to stimulate appetite in cats. Mirtazapine, however, is just so much better at it! This episode is made possible by an educational grant of KindredBio.
