This morning I got another Furosemide down her with no trouble, poked it straight back to the back of her mouth where it went right down. Maybe the shape of that pill, sort of a little football with curved edges, helps it go down more smoothly. The Mirtazapine has slightly sharper edges, more like a little hockey puck.
I did some more shopping looking around for that Meow Mix treat.. this time another couple of Krogers, Meijer, PetSmart, Target... did not find that particular one. I did pick up a few more things, of course. Poppy ate some "Meow Mix Tender Favorite with REAL salmon & crab meat in sauce," a little cup full of food with lots of gravy that she licks right from the top of the cup.
The vet didn't really tell me anything about the Furosemide. They were in the middle of a very busy day when she returned my call, and she'd just had a euthanasia. She just agreed to get it ready for me and said it might help and it wouldn't hurt her. What are the side effects, Heidi?
Poppy does seem slightly less huge.. perhaps that's just wishful thinking on my part..
Thanks, friends, from Poppy and me and Sparkler
