I’ve tried going thru the archives and got some info but just wanted to ask if I’m missing anything—hope you bear with me if all this has already been posted.
My BigBoy, approx age 8, FELV+, developed the ‘bad breath from hell’. Though I try hard NOT to take him to vet (he gets sooo stressed out), I know that stomatitis can be an issue w. FELV+. Vet says it does look like that’s what he has but in early stages—no ulcers in his mouth. He’s lost one canine tooth that he sort of just spit out one day looking like it was just a normal every day thing to spit out a tooth! LOL Vet put him on Baytril 2x/day and its tough pilling him. BUT I know that trying to feed him liquid antibiotic would be even harder. I’ve snuck the food into some soft treats he likes, some wet food ‘meatballs’ and it usually works though he’s pretty good at eating around the pill! Questions I have: 1) Do you know if Baytril leaves an aftertaste in food? He eats in spurts and doesn’t seem to want to eat the wet food if it had the pill stuck in it..(the pill that he swallowed without realizing!—LOL) 2) He’s been throwing up a bit and I’m wondering if Baytril could be giving him an upset stomach… Keep in mind that BigBoy is the biggest mush in the world but while he has no qualms about lying on my chest or my head or any other part of me when he wants to wake me up, I cannot pick him up or otherwise ‘pin him down’ to stick anything in his mouth. He’s not a particularly fussy eater and if he had his way, he’d eat people food only (he’s a stray I took in). He’s the kind of cat that you never ever leave chicken or steak on the counter cause he’ll be up there in a flash just chomping away!
