Yes, administered with a dropper or a syringe.

Yeah, had to do this with my kitty that has crystals in her urine. Had to do the kitty burrito thing. Hubby was the only one strong enough to hold her tightly while I did the syringe. There was no way she would eat the food with it in there. I did have some luck with putting small amounts of the medication in water from a tuna can and giving it to another cat several times a day.

same thing.

oldbroad, I would see if the vet has a shot they give her or even a mild sedative that would allow you to do what you need to. I'm sorry you are struggling with her.

Good suggestions, Ana. Surely they must have contingency plans for situations such as this.

I agree with Ana and Marian. If nothing works, call your vet back. I'm sure this isn't the first time they've run into this.

Good morning, Danish, Donuts, and Bagels in the Break Room. Oldbroad, the vet gave my cat a long acting 10 day antibiotic shot.

Good morning Connie Draclvr Marian Ana Family oldbroad and anyone else that pops in to relax a bit

Yes, a syringe is the way to go with liquid med and probably need to use the burrito wrap method to administer ... never fun

I brought a jug of Jack Daniels coffee this morning as we survived Monday and need to kick to get us to Friday ... also have Scottish breakfast tea and bottled Fiji water

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone

Thank you everyone. We're sort of mulling things over. A bad experience with a vet at this particular place 20 years ago also mixes in with the problem. This is the first time we've been back to this place. Meanwhile, kitty, thankfully, does not seem to be in pain. At the risk of jinxing myself again, things have seemed better the last day and a half. I did suggest my brother talk to the vet though. You would think that we'd be old pros after 50 years of being owned by cats. Instead of pros we're just old and worn out.

Hm. I wonder if Jack Daniels coffee would help.

Things may be totally different in this office than they were 20 years ago. Do you know if they gave her an antibiotic injection at the office? If they did, that may be why she seems to be better. If they didn't, things will only get worse. I speak from bitter experience.

Yes, I agree completely.

Keeping you and your little ones in mt thoughts and prayers oldbroad

same thing.

Good morning, Danish, Donuts, and Bagels in the Break Room.

Good afternoon everyone

Late getting to the breakroom today ... some days just get the best of me

Brought a pot of Lavender & Chamomile coffee this afternoon along with bottled Fiji water for all

It's Hump Day today ... we are halfway to the weekend

Just finished my work out for the day...really late for me. Lil Soot had a routine vet appointment this morning and son is sick, so dinner is in my court so I was busy. Glad to be done and think about what will be going on tonight.

same thing.

Good morning, Danish, Donuts, and Bagels in the Break Room.

Good morning everyone

It's Thursday and we're on the push to the weekend so I brought a pot of Protein Coffee this morning in addition to a classic breakfast tea and bottled Fiji water

I'll take some of that Protein Coffee. Just back from a hot run in the park and off to shower. Have a wonderful day

Yay, coffee. If it weren't for the thought of coffee I'd never get up, some mornings.


The last couple of days have been a bit of a shemozzle for me, running around doing errands on very little sleep. My husband will be going back on chemo soon, since the oncologist thinks that will help with pain reduction. I managed to get an appointment together for someone to come here and administer his second shot as soon as possible so we don't have to worry too much about going to the hospital.

I also finally got another big pile of clothing off to the consignment store, really lovely things, mostly from my working days, that have been hanging around in my closet for far too long. I had my local friends cruise through the pile first to grab anything they wanted and then packed up the rest. Now I have some room in my closet so I can do a very thorough look at what's left. My aim is a 50% reduction in clothing. I really don't need five silk shirts, living here. I still have a pile of things I dearly love but really should get rid of.

Next I'll be going through my books. In days gone by I would keep everything, but I have a lot of books that I'll never read again and they're cluttering up the basement.

hagatha, you are not alone with books in your basement.

But the two sons do not mind to take a good pile of them.

And I have pictures of oncles, grand parents........

And clothes of all sort.....that I do not ware.

And whatever we keep for nothing.

I started to get rid of them.

The basement seems to be bigger now.

Have a nice day and to everybody also.

Chief, the bigger the basement, the more "stuff" there is! Luckily, I don't have a basement in this old farmhouse, just a cellar for the furnace and water heater!

I also have all kinds of stuff that needs to be gone through and disposed of but I usually get some small portion done and then I run into something that I just can't seem to get rid of and then I give up. I have actually thrown some things in the garbage and then picked them back out again.

I never did find out if the vet gave our cat a shot or not. I wasn't there but I asked my brother and still don't know the answer to that. He is not very good with the details of things. He has however, been getting some meds into her. She has been good now for about 3-1/2 days so I am feeling much better about her.

Can you just call the vet and ask? It might be important to know in case he can't get the whole prescription in her - otherwise, you'll just be doing the whole thing again!
