Poor baby Moeman!

Make sure you give him some water or water mixed with gravy is
good- immediately after you pill him- to help him swallow it and so
he's not swallowing it "dry." If you have a syringe or a dropper-
either will work. It doesn't have to be much, just enough to wet
his whistle. I always gave my Monkee some warm water after each of
his pills.

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.

See what you’re getting into…before you go there
