Beckie,

 

You sound really stressed! You are such a good person for helping this poor
kitty! As for pilling, I know that many people here use the gravy from the
wet food for mixing the pills with-maybe that would work? Maybe use some raw
meat like liver (yuck) or something like that to entice little Moe? Good
luck!

Subject: Moe has taken a turn for the worse...

 

Well Moeman has gotten REALLY sick again.  

He's got huge bumps ALL around his neck, like he's wearing a collar or
something, but he doesn't.  I called the vet and explained to her that since
I've already had him in there 3 times, I couldn't afford to keep bringing
him back and asked for Clavomox (spelling?).  When our other cat McGhee was
really sick like this that's what she had and we would notice a difference
in her in a matter of hours.  The vet said it would upset his stomach and
make him more sick.  She said to try to give him a benydryl (again
spelling?) and see how that goes for the weekend.  We gave him 25mg last
night, and he FINALLY went to sleep.  I seriously don't think this poor
little thing has gotten a good night's sleep in weeks.  He's CONSTANTLY
scratching, or licking, it's bad.  So when we got up this morning he seemed
to be a little perkier, but not much.  Hopefully the benydryl will work and
he'll get his strength back.  Only thing is we have the pills, and I feel
HORRIBLE when we give them to him.  Mitch has to hold him by his neck, then
I have to pry his mouth open, etc..I've tried crushing it up and putting it
food, but he knows it's there and won't touch it.  Even wet food, which is
like a treat for him!  Any ideas on how I could crush up a pill and have him
take it without even knowing it?

 

Thanks guys.  I swear, sometimes I wonder what I did before I found you all.

Beckie
