Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), How to treat a cat who has PTSD. Options

[catspell]

[font=Arial][size=7]I would like to know if there is any psychological treatment for cats who are suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. A young cat I know who used to be a friendly, happy, playful mischevious larakin was run over by a car 6 months ago and was in a lot of pain in its treatment at the vet due to leg injury. He has completely healed physically, but emotionally he is scarred. His behaviour has changed to agressiveness and attacks the owners, sinking its teeth into their flesh in an angry manner. He still has his playfull moments but his mood can swing into aggressiveness is you get too involved with it. Can anyone help with any suggestions, please?.

There are homeopathic remedies for this sort of problem..I'm not skilled in that but the standard is Rescue Remedy a few drops in the water bowl and on his ears ,also Feliway diffusers can help calm him.
But i'd need to be sure he's not still in pain..just me..

I had the same thing happen 20 yrs ago my 9 mth old black moggie rescue kitten was playing with my older cat
He had been the older cats loving companion - 'hoones' in a hotted up car purposely ran into the gutter of our quiet street to run them down to kill them.
They killed the older and the youngest had a broken hip. He recovered physically but not mentaly and was always distant......The whole personality changed.....he was not trusting and grieving.
We just accepted the massive change and allowed him to shadow around, fed and loved him for the next 16 yrs. It got a bit better but certainly never got to a loving cuddly cat
We ultimately adopted a Burmese pair of rehomed ex stud cats a blue and a lilac for our lap cats.
There was no aggression though - if there was I think a trip to the vet to get those calming tablets may have been made - in this case medication would probably be good.....
