UPDATE. Hugo Katt a little better.
When he got home Tuesday evening Hugo Katt had been hurt, I don't know how.
Since then he has just lain on his side under a big table, playing dead cat. He has eaten nothing. I could not pick him up as he hurt. It was quite a relief to see the tip of his tail lashing, so I knew he was still alive. He did drink water a few times. Once he dragged himself to his litter-box to pee. Good cat to manage that, under the circumstances. I have pilled him morning and evening with amoxillin we got from TED. The pill-popper is a blessing. I do not think I could have manage it on my own any other way. He got his 5th pill this morning and today he is better. He has eaten some cat-food (wet). Not as much as he use to, but still... He moves about a bit and he wants to lie upon me, with my hand as his pillow and he purrs! He still hurts, though. He is getting better! I have been a bit worried because he is an elderly cat now, 14 years old. But I think he will soon be himself again. Now I have to go and pop the evening pill into him. Thank you everyone for your purrs! Elisabet |

Keep us posted. Hugs, fuga |

We are still purring for him to be back to his old self soon. -- Marina, Frank and Nikki marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi |

Marina, have you tried to pill Frank and Nikki with a pill-popper?
It is so easy (comparatively) when you have to do it without help. It is important the popper is the right size for the pills. As Hugo Katt has not eaten anything for days I could not have hidden the pills in food. And he would have noticed. Amoxillin smells awful. Thank the kitties for their purrs!

Sometimes the pills can give an amazingly quick recovery.

"Lisa Katt" wrote Marina, have you tried to pill Frank and Nikki with a pill-popper? I haven't tried it. I know many people swear by the pill-popper, but I figured that, since F&N have to have their thyroid medication twice a day for the rest of their lives, I should try to keep it a positive experience for them both. Frank loves his sour cream cocktail morning and evening, and he has even been known to remind me to give it him. Nikki has her own rituals she needs to go through, like leading mea round the flat a couple of times, before crawling under the bed and then licking the cream off my finger that I stick under the bed. ;o) But she always eats her meds eventually. She just has to be a little princess about it. The next time I have to give some smelly meds to them, I might look at the pill-popper. -- Marina |

Thank you everyone for your purrs! Elisabet So glad Hugo is feeling better. It still sounds like a near-miss with a car or a fall from a high place -- they do not always land on their feet. A long time ago my dog had a similar occurence and he was very sore for days, but nothing broken. MLB |

"Karen" wrote I would never pill without a popper again. It really is a blessing. Did Grant that way for a year trying to get his gingivitis under control. I'm glad to hear Hugo Katt is doing better. I was worried with no update, but was also worried to ask! Did he get an xray? I suppose it doesn't matter because if it is a rib or hairline fracture or something not much you could do, but I would be wondering. Maybe that is why he is lying so still. Cats are not stupid, you know. ;o) Sometimes they know what to do to heal themselves. -- Marina |
