Most people have heard of Sasquatch, but few people really know what it is. Sasquatch has become lost in the garish world of "Bigfoot," a California USA gadfly in wooden feet.

The truth is that Sasquatch is real. The sound that opens this page is an authentic reproduction based on the witness testimony of Myrtle and Ken Walton of British Columbia. Myrtle was William Roe's daughter, the only man to date who has had a close enough encounter with a Sasquatch to describe it faithfully.

His account was fundamental in taking the Sasquatch out of the world of white man's preconceived impression of the Sasquatch as a "giant Indian with long hair on its head."

The average cat weighs 8-10 pounds. That's 3.5 to 4.5 kilograms (35-45 grams); for the sake of singularity, let's go with 40 grams. Density = mass / volume, but there is no known measurement for cat density. So we'll go with what this guy got:

Can a cat take diazepam or alprazolam?

Both diazepam and alprazolam are benzodiazepines commonly used in humans, but their use in cats is generally more limited and requires careful consideration. Here’s a breakdown of their use in feline medicine:

Diazepam (Valium)

Uses in Cats:

Sedation and Anxiety: Diazepam can be used to manage anxiety or to sedate cats for certain procedures.

Seizure Management: It may be used in emergency situations to control seizures or in the management of chronic seizures.

Appetite Stimulation: Sometimes prescribed to stimulate appetite in cats that are not eating well.

Considerations:

Dosage and Monitoring: The dosage must be carefully adjusted by a veterinarian based on the cat’s weight, health status, and response to the medication.

Side Effects: Potential side effects include drowsiness, incoordination, and behavioral changes. Long-term use can lead to liver damage in cats.

Contraindications: Use with caution in cats with liver disease or those that are pregnant or lactating.

Alprazolam (Xanax)

Uses in Cats:

Anxiety and Stress: Alprazolam is occasionally used for managing severe anxiety or phobias, such as those related to travel or loud noises.

Behavioral Issues: It might be prescribed for certain behavioral problems where anxiety is a significant factor.

Considerations:

Dosage and Safety: As with diazepam, dosage should be strictly managed by a veterinarian. Alprazolam is not as commonly used in cats as diazepam.

Side Effects: Potential side effects include sedation, incoordination, and changes in behavior. Cats may also experience agitation or increased anxiety in some cases.

Limited Use: Alprazolam is less frequently prescribed compared to diazepam for cats, and its use is generally reserved for specific cases.

General Advice:

Veterinary Guidance: Always consult with a veterinarian before administering any medication to your cat. They can determine the appropriate drug, dosage, and treatment plan based on your cat’s specific needs and health condition.

Safety First: Never use human medications on pets without professional guidance, as incorrect dosing or inappropriate medication can lead to serious health issues.

In summary, while diazepam and alprazolam can be used in cats, their use should be guided by a veterinarian due to potential side effects and the need for precise dosing.

What is best over-the-counter anti-diarrhea treatment for cats?

Pumpkin is a great natural source that will help with both diarrhea and constipation. For an adult cat with diarrhea start with feeding your cat a teaspoon of pureed pumpkin (plain, no sugars added) twice a day. If that does not help, you can increase each feeding to 1 1/2 teaspoons. Then 2 teaspoons if still not enough. Be careful though. Too much will go the other way and cause a constipated cat to go.

If your cat has diarrhea for a more than a day or two and is lethargic and not eating, consult a vet immediately. Even just a couple days without food and water can cause liver damage in a cat.
