Akila not gaining weight

CBD oil can work really well for stress/calming, if you decide to try it make sure it is sourced from hemp only, and give a very low dose to start - you want calm not comatose LOL. I've had customers use it for post-surgery calming, but not for aggression (in cats, dogs yes), so I'd love know if it works for you or not.

No I don’t want comatose! The vet told me how much to give her, and it is a very low amount. Do you recall what the stuff that you put in the water is called?

I tried this on Bear for territorial aggression. He wouldn't drink the water, but will eat a drop on a freeze-dried treat. I only give it him when he's having an "episode", and it calms him. I got mine locally, so there's probably a similar option in a pet shop near you.

Thank you! I will definitely look for it at my local holistic pet food store. If not I will order it from Chewy!

My vet had us use Nutricalm. Below are the ingredients. As you can see, everything is quite benign. I put up to 10 drops in her food as needed. It does not make her sleepy but definitely takes the edge off.

L-Tryptophan (Pharmaceutical grade), L-Theanine (Suntheanine brand), Ashwagandha extract (Withania somnifera), Catnip extract (nepeta cataria), Valerian root extract (valeriana officinalis), Calcium (as aspartate), Magnesium (as aspartate); Other ingredients: Water, fructose, glycerin, natural salmon flavor, citric acid, potassium sorbate, xanthan gum.

Thank You I will definitely be looking for some natural.

My vet had us use Nutricalm.

I like this formula better, going to try it myself, thanks Rafiki!

BTW, Nutricalm is available on Amazon much cheaper than thru the vet.

Thanks Ninja and Rafiki. I was able to find the product you mentioned Ninja at my local holistic pet store. Kebi gets even more aggressive when she eats catnip, so I would have to steer clear of anything with catnip in it. She does fine smelling it, but I gave her a little bit to eat and she even growled and hissed at me!!! It was pretty scary. I’ve never seen anything like it

Weird! CBD might be your best bet, then. It's becoming more widely available, so you can probably find treats if you aren't wanting to deal with a dropper and dosages. Try to source your CBD from Colorado, if you decide to use it, they have the best products/program of that sort, imho.
