or even a good antihistemine. i just hope she's not going to have to be put down. that is scaring the heck outta me right now.

Princess, take a good breath and calm yourself. As long as the vet doesn't see her, there is no point to despair. My first cat was born the same year as me. She lived 13 years old. I coudln't get attached to another cat, after her.

Fred has a few years left to live.

i know, and its probably just an alergy and stress again, but i stillget scared.

would just like to note, fred is diagnosed with fleaalergies (even although she was done a month ago. the vet has said to get the alergy under control before we look at the other issues

Princess Ivy · 08-05-2005, 02:08 AM

in her food or directly in her mouth ?

Princess Ivy · 08-05-2005, 11:31 AM

she prefers dry food, so no hiding it there, i have no choice but to give it direct. sigh.

Depending on the size of the pill, hide it in a piece of lunchmeat. The cat should take it that way, since they don't chew their food (all they have are cutting teeth, no molars). My cat would, but he doesn't take any pills. If that doesn't work, go to the nearest pet store any buy a pill popper. Its a little device that pops the pill to the back of the cats mouth so they have to swallow it.

it's a real pain to make her open her mouth, mine hides when she knows it's time for he meds :biggrin:
