Stinker's not doing so hot...I mean, he feels okay but he's still shaking his head and his ear still rattles,so he's not getting better. Want to know WHY he's not getting better? Because pills and cats don't mix. Yeah, they make Pill Pockets, but you can maybe get one or two, three tops, good uses out of those things and then they catch on. I tried putting the hairball gel around the pill and cramming it into his mouth. Then there's the pill shooter, where I practically performed an endotracheal tube placement while pushing the pill into his throat. Ahh! Finally! Nope. There it is on the floor, or my sleeve, or in my hair. WTF???
So a call to the vet's office may help. I am going to try the liquid form of the antibiotics. Screw the steroids. I can't do all of this. I mean, Stinky weighs 23 pounds! Why can't cats be like dogs and just eat everything in site (okay maybe not broccoli) and be super-happy about it? I mean, dogs can eat cat poo from the litter box and not see a problem with that. How is it that two types of animals can be so different in such a basic needs category?
I know all those funny things about giving pills to cats circulate on the internet and through emails. I hope someday to laugh at those things when they come around again, but for right now I have to go pick pieces of pill out of my hair.
