Administer Prescribed Medication for Feline Hyperesthesia

Tools Needed: Veterinarian-prescribed medication (e.g., fluoxetine, gabapentin), pill pockets or food, and a daily log. Safety Precautions: Never administer human medication or adjust dosages without explicit veterinary guidance. Steps:

1. Follow the specific dosing schedule provided by your veterinarian.
2. Use a pill pocket or small amount of wet food to ensure the cat consumes the full dose.
3. Maintain a log of the cat's behavior to monitor for any side effects or changes in frequency of tail-chasing episodes.
4. Schedule a follow-up appointment to assess the effectiveness of the treatment.

Verification: The fix is working if the cat shows a reduction in the frequency and intensity of tail-chasing episodes and less frequent skin rippling.
