KFC's visit to TED tonight.
Neither myself nor the vet are happy with her progress, she has not improved
at all since her TED visit last Monday. She is streaming with green gunk now, worse than last week and will not eat. There is only one long acting injectible antibiotic she can have and she's had it, and although it worked before twice it it not working now. We discussed a change of antibiotic but there is nothing that can be injected long term. He asked me if it was possible to give her tablets. I wanted to fall around laughing but hid the urge and just said no. I enquired whether a liquid antibiotic was available and he said it was so we have come home with this in the hope that KFC will allow me to squirt it into her mouth tomorrow morning twice a day for 10 days.

Purrs that she surprises you and allows it. Cats sometime do that. Now would be a very good time. Jo |

I hope she does. My household is purring for her recovery. Since it would ruin her reputation for people to know she allowed that, don't tell us that she did. Just report progress that results. -- Will in New Haven |

I wanted it to be hot for her so she would go outside and sleep in the flower beds in the sun. Didn't happen. Tweed |

Good luck and lots of purrs! If she lets you squirt antibiotics in her mouth, then perhaps you can also squirt some pureed food? Yowie -- "because its more fun to be evil" - Jarppi, _The Dudesons_ |

Jo I have been using an eyedropper (not the squirt thing the Vet suggested) to give TuTu water every night -- she loves it. I started this when I first had her and she was sick. I tried the "squirt" thingy but she hated it. I tried the eyedropper inserted in the side of her mouth. The medicine must have tasted good as she didn't object. I followed the med with water several times,es. When her med ran out, she loved forward to the water drops, so I kept it up -- it has been over 10 years now. When I told the Vet, she said "good! that will help if she ever needs to be medicated again" it's worth a try. Best wishes. MLB |

Tweed Good luck. It just may work. It is almost impossible to give Lindy pills, but I manage the twice a day squirting of medication with little or no problem. Sometimes she tries to run or hide, but she doesn't run very far or hide very convincingly. I am always able to get hold of her, and she doesn't fight. Fortunately, she is eating, and is supposed to have food with her medication. That means that sometimes she actually seeks me out to remind me that it is time. Joy |

Tweed Are pill pockets available in your area? If so, they might be worth trying. They are soft, pliable treats. Tablets are inserted, and the pill pocket pinched is around the tablet. They come in two or three different flavors, and one might appeal to KFC. (I do realize that there is a great likelihood that this will not work because KFC is having difficulty smelling food, but I thought it would be worth an attempt.) Here's what I am trying to describe: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produc...m?pcatid=18943 MaryL |

I'm lucky here that all my girls are still fairly young (LB is the oldest at an estimated 8 1/2 to 9yo) and healthy for the most part, so I haven't had to give much medication. Sammy is the exception, with her heart murmur, and she required meds for a while when first diagnosed, but nothing for the past couple years. Anyway, the previous paragraph is just to say that lots of folks have more practical experience than I do - including you, what with your dogs and KFC herself, so I don't have much to offer in the way of advice. The only thing I thought of was to mention a "kitty burrito" my TED uses, where you wrap the cat in a towel so it can't struggle too much. anyway, like I said, not much advice, but will be sending purrs that KFC takes the med and fights off this latest bug and starts eating again soon. -- Steve Touchstone Little Bit, Sammy, Spotty, Princess, Furby and Rocky (RB) Pix at http://tinyurl.com/22pfn8 Vids at http://tinyurl.com/4yb6nj |
