I'll be at my regular vet today and ask about a different brand of dissolution food.

I'm doing ok with his meds but cannot find the eyedrops anywhere.

Oscar, did you hide your eyedrops?:D

I found the eyedrops - they were right there in plain sight!

I called the clinic where Oscar stayed to ask if he could get a Convenia shot instead of being pilled. YES! He is going to my local vet at 5:30 today and will give him his eyedrops also. That way I can see how they do it. I could always dose him when he's sleepy...

Tomorrow I will get a refund for the canned food he won't eat and will try Purina UR vet food, the wet stuff. I may take the RC SO kibble back. He likes it but I think it's too hard on his gums. He has very few teeth left.

Of course, Cole and Zoe both love the stuff that Oscar hates. :rolleyes:

Tried Oscar on the Hill's CD wet food. He sorta eats it. He was up on the kitchen counters around 4 this morning, looking for food. I got the bowl of kibble and started adding small chunks of the CD. He was eating!

Still stressed and tear-prone with all the adjustment and the seriousness of Oscar's condition. Only one pill to give him now and two liquid meds. It'll all be good. :love:

Convenia is the best thing that ever happened to cats. I remember when it first came on the market, and a sigh of relief went through the catpeople community;), me included.
I'm glad that you found a food he eats. Everything would be so much easier if those little furballs weren't that picky.:D
Oscar, be a good boy for your mom. She loves you so much, and she will do whatever it takes to get you healthy again.
:love:Heidi
I just wanted to add for anybody not familiar with Convenia that it is an injectable antibiotic that works for 2 weeks in the body, eliminating the need for pills. It is also used in dogs.

I returned the Royal Canin SO wet food and kibble today for a refund. I bought two cans of Purina UR (vet level of food).

Oscar loves it. THANK GOD!!!

So away we go.:):love:

Way to go, Oscar and Candace!:love:
