Did he aspirate? Was the problem after the water or after the doxy? Maybe the
water isn't working with him. I would call the vet and ask about this. Our vet
told us we had to give the doxy directly (not mixed in food). Midas hated it
too.
It's really important thing is for YOU to be calm

You must have been scared to death! I know I would have been. Maybe the shots
will be easier on him then trying to get things down his throat.
I purchase something on e-bay, I think it is called a kitty cuddler that is
made to wrap a cat in to give medications. Maybe something like
Vet isn't in same emotional space as you are...could be the explanation.
Prayers with you. I feel he is going to be fine.

No, he

Maybe you can give him something (if there is something) that he
loves right after the dose. It would help him with
the aftertaste. Can your husband help you when dosing him? When we
had to dose MeMe it helped if one of us held her
and petted her while the other opened her mouth and
you Laurie. I needed to hear that.

Lynn, we had to give doxy to one of our cats last
year. It can be compounded by a pharmacy to taste
better. It's not cheap
Jane that reminds me of when I had to give Maizee her big capsule full of meds
everyday.We ended up having a routine.After she swallowed the pill for me I
gave her a couple of finger dips of cool whip.She loved the stuff.When she saw
me take out the bowl she would lick her chops.I miss that
You can also get some meds compounded transdermally and put them in the
ear. I have one boy who hates pills and hates liquids, but ESPECIALLY
pillsI've had him for 12.5 years and he runs from me when he knows I
have a pillI've never seen a cat fight so hard when being pilled.
Anyway it
Here is a pictorial, this is closer to how I do it but I do it from
the front, but basically the same. Always be calm and not stressed when
pilling, Boo will pick it up if you are feeling stressed and it will
affect him.

Lynne,
I'm sorry the doxy is so hard to administer, I wouldn't worry about
the injections though, just get a small needle, insulin size, I get them
from my local pharmacy. I give all my guys a vitamin b once a week and
none notice the needle at all, some do notice the vit b going in
This is very helpful Belinda thanks. I'm going to try doing it this way.

Fred is anemic with his CRF and the others just for GP, it can't
hurt, any they don't need just gets peed out.
