Re:she's better, he's worse- aargh!

2005-06-13 Thread ferozar01
her dose oif flagyl was so small I actually compounded the med into a flavored 
liquid for her- she stikll hates it, but its only for 5 days, so we're already 
almost done.  and her fever is still down today- so its official we won!!!

on the other hand Val is worse, started the dex injection today and I'm going 
to give him sq fluids, other than that I've just been trying to get him to eat, 
he won't even lick tuna juice and I've tried all the mixes i've read about on 
here before so...I had a talk with him this morning and let him know that 
whenever he is ready its ok, i think its soon.  I wish he would fall asleep 
here with his borthers and sisiters, it would be so nice for him, they love him 
so much and one in particular is so attached to him I concerned for her after, 
she has the others though so hopefully she'll understand.  
sadly, Kristi

 Flagyl (or also called Metronidazole) is exceptionally horrid 
 tasting.  Makes cats foam at the mouth and makes them fight taking it.  
 I put the tablet in a #1 empty gel cap (by the box at Walmart Pharmacy) 
 so that the pill does not touch the mouth.  Or you can coat it with 
 butter or lightly with velveeta and get it down fast to camouflage the 
 taste.  Just a couple of suggestions.  So happy her fever is down.  
 Sending healing positive thoughts and prayers for your new baby.

Kristi,

I hope Val goes peacefully as well. Until then I hope you can keep him comfortable. Hugs to you both.
