Sophia Lucia had some pink crusties on her face for a week from us fighting to squirt it down her throat. They're so smart. They know our tricks!! If someone grabbed you by the scruff, then held your jaw up, shoved something deep into your mouth, and then rubbed your throat, you'd be a quick learner, too! I'm gonna let someone else touch that one. That is SO NOT what I had in mind when I posted that. Your mind has been all over this lately. I know. I'm sorry. Always be kinder than you feel.

maadmax 0 #31 January 15, 2014 Quote Thanks for the love!! He is getting lots of hugs & scratches :) And thank goodness they gave me the option between pills & liquid, because I chose liquid for that exact reason. Although, he's definitely on to me. Turned his nose up at the food I mixed it in with and also at the milk it was mixed with. So, I guess he prefers the hard way! Glad to hear it is not serious. If you have any trouble medicating him there is a one time injection of antibiotics called Convenia, that lasts up to two weeks and actually works better than oral antibiotics.

craigbey 0 #33 January 15, 2014 Good to hear that Stomp is doing better. How are you providing water to him? With that type of irritation and bleeding, you may want to exchange water frequently and consider a recirculating fountain with a filter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's definitely getting more and more ornery each time a dose comes. The area itself seems to be turning almost white around the edges...is that on par with getting better?

Just an old fashioned bowl by his food dish and he has his own cup that he drinks out of on the bedside table...and he drinks from the bathtub faucet too . Thank you!

tigra 0 #36 January 15, 2014 petco sells one for about $20.00- their own "house brand" and it works just as good if not better than the much more expensive name brand fountains. My cats love theirs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would be nice to not have to fight her and stress her out more! Yes, I use it more than any other of my broad spectrum antibiotics unless the culture and sensitivity results dictate something else. As you know FIV is viral and not susceptible to antibiotics. You may try interferon which is antiviral. Convenia would be good for secondary bacterial infections that result from the immunosuppression. ...

turtlespeed 212 #50 January 16, 2014 theskyisfly ******Thanks so much for the input folks!! I didn't do ER and instead just waited for the vet appt on Monday morning since he seemed to be acting fine (including eating and drinking). Diagnosed as what may have started as a burn (if-y at best) but regardless, whatever it was just got really infected, so the fat man is on a round on antibiotics now. Should clear up by Friday & if not, we are going back :) Again, thank you for all the insight. Great news that it's something that should clear up!! Phew!! Send him some get well lovin' and chin scratches from me and Sophia Lucia!! MEOW! PS - Good luck if his antibiotics are pills. Hopefully it's the liquid stuff you squirt down his little throat. Thanks for the love!! He is getting lots of hugs & scratches :) And thank goodness they gave me the option between pills & liquid, because I chose liquid for that exact reason. Although, he's definitely on to me. Turned his nose up at the food I mixed it in with and also at the milk it was mixed with. So, I guess he prefers the hard way!Here are some tips on how to medicate your buddy.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
