Hi,

Please can I have everybody (who posted on this thread)'s permission to cross post this thread to another professional veterinary behaviour discussion forum? There is a member on there who is interested in how well zylkene works.

Thanks.

Please could you post under this post to say "I don't mind"

Hi - we are recc Zylkene more and more as we have been getting increasingly good feedback from clients - not only for noise phobias but for separation anxiety, and stress with cats too (such as overgrooming and urinating in the house). What also makes this a great drug to recc is that you can just sell it over the counter! obviously depending on the clients problem you should recc they see the vet first to rule out anything medical first

It was the zylkene desensitisation CD but I only used it throughout October and I found it worked well. I may try it on my older cat too he's a bit stressy at the moment - I must say so far I'm really impressed with it

The CD mentioned is the Zylkene Sound Desensitisation Programme. One CD is being given free of charge for every box of Zylkene that is ordered from Sept-November.

I would also reiterate what has been mentioned re the CD. These CDs should not be used near to firework season - there should be no chance of any fireworks occurring and the programme takes weeks to months to complete. Therefore we recommend starting in the spring time when fireworks generally don't happen. The 2 main reasons why sound desensitisation programmes fail is being performed at the wrong time of year and also owners progressing too rapidly through the program.

I have used zylkene on one of my cats when I was redecorating my hallway (yes - he's a monster cat - how dare I mess with his house?! Anything like that and he gets really peed off, takes it out on his brother and once even left home for two weeks!!)

I realise it's a different scenario but my cat really can be a nightmare and I definately noticed a positive change in his behaviour and attitude. Would deffo recommend and use it again!

What CD is it? Is it like the Sounds Scary one, cos if so this is the wrong time of year to try a desensitisation CD you should wait until there is no chance of fireworks going off unexpectedly, otherwise you risk making them worse

We've had varied feedback re fireworks but have seen good results with a regular boarder we have.
Bella is a paraplegic min dachshund who boards with us when her owners go away. The first few times she was terrible, getting really stressed, barking constantly, off food, colitis etc. We got the owners to start her on zylkene a week before she came this time and can def see a difference in her. She is eating us out of house and home, hardly barks and is a lot more settled. Would def recommend it in this situation.

Amazing drug! I used it when I rehoming my dog, she settled in brilliantly and is perfect! Obviously I wasnt sure if it worked as I didnt know her temprement etc but no she is off it she is alot more alert and sniffy on walks.

It seems to be a all or nothing drug from reports, it works fab for some but makes no difference to others x

I had some success with it too with my boy. He was still shaking but not seeking out hiding places in our bedroom. We actually played ball in the house (not usually allowed) so I am just going to keep him on it through New Year as our area is like a battle field then.
