My lovely female 8 year old Siamese has just had a fairly major operation - stressful enough, but she has now taken to licking the bald patch on the side of the wound and will not leave it alone. Vet visit yesterday resulted in antibiotics as she's created an infection. Last night was one of the worst I've spent with her - constant licking to the point where she was licking me rather than not licking at all. Poor little mite - the vet is giving her an anti-depressant suitable for felines (of course) which I'm hoping will break the vicious circle of licking wound and it wont heal and hopefully she will improve. She cant jump onto anything as it's obviously too painful for her to do so - although the wound itself is looking fantastic.
Anyone else had any experience with purebred stress-related OCD cats? Or cats taking prozac?!!
