Poor Jaya! I can imagine how much hearing her cry hurt you.
I found this information on a vet blog about Cerenia:
"
VIN (the Veterinary Information Network) had a Rounds discussion not so long ago on this very topic, entitled,
“Cerenia: Is It The New Anti-Inflammatory, Anti-Allergy, Analgesic, Anti-Emetic, Anti-Obesity, And Antidepressant Wonder Drug?”
Cerenia (maropitant) is a tachykinin antagonist which acts by inhibiting the binding of substance P.
Cerenia is labeled only for treatment of nausea and vomiting, but
can potentially be used extra-label for pain, inflammation, GI disturbances, allergies and immune diseases, bladder inflammation, CNS and spinal cord injury, and mast cell diseases.
Treatment schedules should be 5 days on, 2 days off or every other day as continuous dosing depletes substance P which leads to tremors. "
