Funny how some are so quick to learn the word "treat", or "milk", or 
"mouse", but when you talk sweetly to them and try to comfort them while 
you're doing something that helps them...doesn't always work so well.  Sigh.

  My most successful method of dealing with difficult cats is either a 
screen door, or a vertical upholstered surface. Scruff the cat, and get them to 
attach their front claws to either the screen or fabric, at a level of about 
your shoulder. Lower the rest of the cat (claws still attached) and you'll find 
that you have pretty good control. I can usually release the scruff, tilt their 
head back, and have two hands to tilt his/her and get the meds in successfully, 
but it has to be quick. They're so worried abut hanging on, they're at least a 
little off their game. I'm right handed, so I scruff/hang with my left, so my 
right hand has good access...

Just a thought...

[Felvtalk] Getting the med IC...

[Margo]

I was once trying to give an injection to a very unhappy cat. He was being 
carefully restrained by three people, and he was winning, big time. I asked 
where/how it should be given, and the vet hollered "IC". I looked at her, and 
she said with gritted teeth "In Cat".

 My most successful method of dealing with difficult cats is either a 
screen door, or a vertical upholstered surface. Scruff the cat, and get them to 
attach their front claws to either the screen or fabric, at a level of about 
your shoulder. Lower the rest of the cat (claws still attached) and you'll find 
that you have pretty good control. I can usually release the scruff, tilt their 
head back, and have two hands to tilt his/her and get the meds in successfully, 
but it has to be quick. They're so worried abut hanging on, they're at least a 
little off their game. I'm right handed, so I scruff/hang with my left, so my 
right hand has good access...

earmite med reaction - Tonya

[Nina]

Hi Tonya,
You probably caught the thread about my feral and the earmite problem.  
What earmite medication did your (cat?) have a reaction to.  More 
details please!

Michelle,
 
I am so glad the transfer factor is making a difference. I'm not sure 
what all you've tried so far.  It seems to me that if it were a 
reaction to the flea med. there would have been some sort of 
antecdote.  I had something similar once happen with an ear mite 
treatment.  Also, it seems it would be good to flush out his system as 
much as possible.   Did the vet give him fluids?  Anything like that?

Med ?

[JENNIFER RATLIFF]

Has anyone tries Periactin on there +kitties to increase their appetite?

  Jenn,
  Yes, Periactin, also known as 
  cyproheptadine is used commonly as an appetite 
  stimulant.
  I have used it many times, and 
  more often than not, it DOES increase appetite.

Re: Med ?

[Nina]

I had Cypro prescribed in a transdermal for my Gypsy. I'm not sure if
it helped her appetite because she also started Pred at around the same
time and that stimulates the appetite too.
