OT Good thoughts for QI please

Some good thoughts for my cat, Rocky, would be much appreciated over
here. He was savaged by a neighbour's two staffordshire bull terriers
yesterday :-( After a night at the vet he is now home and feeling very
sorry for himself. To add insult to injury (and to make this on topic)
the stitching on the hand piecing is all visible ;-)

Lizzy

PS wish me luck as I treat him orally with one liquid med and one set of
tablets AND the three different eye drops! I might need stiching up by
the end of the week.

Poor Rocky! Hope he heals up quickly. Medicating even the most docile
of
cats is tricky. IME it gets harder as the treatment progresses.
They're "on"
to all your tricks by then. Mine is also an expert at harking up the
pill afer
I think he's swallowed it. :-(

Oh, Lizzy, I do hope Rocky will be okay and will learn to tolerate being
medicated without too much damage to his loving nurse! Poor guy!

Yikes! Poor Rocky! Poor Lizzy!

I don't know how much of a fighter Rocky is in regard to his meds,
however, I once had a cat I needed to treat who wasn't the least bit
cooperative, so I wrapped her in a big towel before attempting to give
the meds. The towel protected me from her claws and made the process
faster which I think was ultimately less traumatic for her.

Good thoughts heading your way.

Hi
Hope Rocky gets to feeling better!

My kitties have always worn sweatshirts while getting any kind of
anything they don't like. It helps with not getting scratched and also
looks kind of cute during those rough times.

Friend of mine with a sick kitty used to apply the pill to the back of
the mouth along with a gob of peanut butter. The cat liked it and
never tried to spit it out.

Poor Rocky! Poor Lizzy! I will keep good thoughts for you both.

poor poor Rocky. no one deserves such treatment.
the tablets can be crushed between two matching spoons and when poured into
his mouth he cant spit it out cuz it sticks to the moisture in his mouth so
he can only eventually ingest the meds.
this is how i gave my kids homeopathic remedys when too young to suck
tablets properly.
worked a treat for them.
good luck with the eye drops, i have no help on those.

i do hope something has been done about those viscious dogs.
they need to be kept locked up and/or on a leash.
send the bill for the vet to the neighbour, his dogs are responsible so he
should pay it.

healing thots on the way for Rocky and you.
