My cat attacks my older cat. Should he be on anti-anxiety meds?

Question

Reposting with forgotten details.. Bravo has recently started attacking one of my older cats. When he sees her his body completely changes and he becomes laser focused on attacking her. We've tried the feliway infuser and a calming collar. Should be be on meds? Ee have 6 cats and he doesn't do this with any of the others. I've watched his body go from relaxed to tense just from seeing her. It's breaking my heart that she lives in the bathroom in fear of him.

Yes, anti-anxiety medications are warranted in this situation if you have already tried the other options. We save medications as the last resort. All the anti-anxiety medications are prescription through your vet so you will have to call them and ask about getting Bravo on something. They will have to examine him first if it has been a while since he has been to the vet.
