I was wondering if any of you have used Mirataz gel? I'd like to know if you saw any results and if there were any side effects?
Thanks

After a nasty bout of gastroenteritis, she completely stopped eating. She’s a very sensitive little thing, but after plenty of tests, everything came back clear. That medication really did the trick and triggered something in her; now she's constantly hungry!
I’d suggest going for the fish or chicken flavours; apparently the beef isn't as popular for the brand I mentioned.
Right, thanks. Well, we started yesterday... I hope we get results as quickly as you did with yours. Why did she lose weight? I'll look into the wet food you mentioned; the vet told me to try everything just to get him to eat a little something.
For mine, the effect was instant; she’s been on the treatment for a week now and she’s absolutely wolfing her food down. I’ve only really noticed her filling out again since yesterday, as she’d lost a fair bit of weight too. Try giving him some tasty wet food alongside his dry food if he likes it. She wouldn't touch the wet food from the vet, but I tried the Gourmet Gold Revelations advertised on the forum and it really was a revelation. I know it’s not the best quality food out there, but at least she’s eating.
Hi everyone,
How long did it take before you saw any results? We started last night after a visit to the vet, but he's lost another half a pound (around 0.5 lbs) :/
Avoid touching the cat's head and make sure to wash your hands after applying the gel. It’s best to put it on in the morning if you want him to sleep in your bed at night.
Thanks for your reply, is the cat still okay to sleep with you? We’re waiting for the results of a lymph node biopsy and FIP tests. He’s barely eating anything at the moment, and he’s been on a course of antibiotics and steroids since Monday.
One of my cats is currently on this treatment and hasn't had any side effects so far. Mind you, it brought his appetite back straight away and now he’s eating more than usual—he's almost ravenous, but apparently that’s a normal side effect of the medicine. After a really bad stomach bug, my cat stopped eating altogether, was completely off his food and became lethargic and withdrawn; he even had to be put on a drip at the vets for dehydration. This stuff is magic, everything has been fine since we started him on it. Side effects are very rare and it’s well worth the try to save your cat, rather than worrying about potential side effects that probably won't even happen. Best of luck to you, and don't hesitate to use it. Just make sure you follow the instructions for applying it, but it’s really easy to do.
