He is and is not interested in eating so I may have to give him a stimulant. He was interested in sitting by a window, so I lifted him to the cat tree. We had a great love session, too.
I still think at times, he's not sure where he is.
I will call the vet in the morning and see if they will give me some hypos of an alternative antibiotic. No fluids last night but i will give some tonight.

Yeah, today he's not interested in the baby food or chicken broth or soup. I got some chicken soup/stew on the stove now. If he doesn't do that I've got to figure out how to get the appetite stimulant in him. He gets sub-Q tonight. Perhaps I have make a powder of the pill and get it on his tongue.

Our prayers and positive thoughts are going out for Sam. Once our vet put RB Groucho on medication and gave me something to wrap the pill in that tasted like a treat. I don't remember what it's called (sorry) but you might want to mention it to your vet. Sending lots of feel better lovies and scritchies to Sam.
FIND A PURPOSE IN LIFE.....BE A BAD EXAMPLE

More prayers and lovies for dear Sam.

Have you tried a pill popper? For over a year I had to pill 2 cats 2 times per day. I asked my vet for a pill popper and she gave me one for free. It made pilling them a breeze!
Proud to be a crazy cat lady!
Geez Anne - even the NICE vet - what gives? Poor Sam and poor you! He does have a dental coming up, right?
"Do or do not. There is no try." -- Yoda
Yes, Sam's dental is this Thursday. I'm glad I scheduled it further out since he needs to get hydrated enough for surgery.
I'm not sure what you mean - "even the nice vet". Sam is just very sick. he gets fluids tonight. I gave him a break on Saturday and Sunday. I'm going to inject him with the Clindamycin under the skin at the same time I give fluids. I already put it in the hypo. I have some appetite suppressant (oops, stimulant) and tuna juice, so that gets put in a syringe to be given orally.
The swelling has reduced a little, but even when he ate over the weekend it was on his left. The swelling is on the right.
And right now he is lying near me, sweet baby.
Poor me is right, too, and more than you know. My sinus infection resurfaced last week. My nose now bleeds. And I am tired, fatigued. Trying to keep hydrated myself since I love soda, esp Pepsi. Pepsi is now on my list of things to be avoided. The right ear is still somewhat infected, but the infection reappeared on the left side. The change in weather meant my jaw was swelling and that put pressure on the ears or sinuses.
I'm taking myself to a doc tomorrow.

Yep I did. Fixed. Thanks. I don't know if I should have given the Clinda via hypo, but Sam is so bad right now, he can only get better. Someone on Facebook, a vet tech told me it's not sterile, which i already knew. I figure we survived a lot of infection the last several million years. He also got more AB orally.
I found out that my favorite vet doesn't do dentals, so I'm trying to arrange for a different vet. If I had know that she didn't do dentals I would have asked to see the other vet. I might have to take Sam to the Cat Clinic. I made it clear that the other woman is not to touch my cat.
I'll get some iron tomorrow. It's cold outside.
Thanks

Awww, I hope you and Sam are feeling better very soon. At least you can cuddle together while you aren't feeling well.
Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.
Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!
