Norwegian forest cat's question about Hormone Replacement Therapy

Question

My female cat recently received anabolic steroid injection. After 1 week she is constantly howling and has started spraying (urinating) everywhere indoors. Can this be reversed with estrogen therapy? We cant go on with her in this state as she seems very distressed and has started shaking.

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your question. Those are not common side effects from a steroid injection, and I would be more concerned about other disease, given her age.  Without being able to see or examine her, or know more about her history, it is difficult for me to say what might help, but it seems that something needs to be done, I agree.  It would be a good idea to call your veterinarian, let them know what is happening, and see if they have any thoughts, since they saw her recently.  

I hope that all goes well for her!
