Still Peeing Outside the Box? It Might Be Time for Prozac

Описание: Is your cat still peeing outside the litter box—even after medical tests and litter box changes? At this point, we may be dealing with a behavioral issue… and that’s when I reach for fluoxetine, better known as Prozac.

Like any medication, fluoxetine isn’t for every cat—but when used correctly, it can be a game-changer for both you and your feline friend.
