Thanks Amberlee , your concern and hugs are much appreciated, does anyone know just how long Ash will continue to sneeze, he is still sneezing away, not quite as often though, poor old guy, its almost funny to watch, he holds his mouth open before he sneezes, and then away he goes one after another, then rubs his nose with his paw briskly, I have been wiping his nose with tissue to help him out, not that there is any streaming coming from his nose at all, so guess thats a good sign.
He is better, but I do wish his sneezing would stop , then I would really believe he is almost over this.
I have to tell you we pilled him this morning , feeling confident he had swallowed it, low and behold an hour later I find it by the heater, the little monkey obviously held it in his mouth , swallowed convincing us it was gone, then spat it out, now I am wondering just how many of these antibiotics he has done that with, I never knew cats could do that,you live and learn.

Yep cats can projectile pills real good. Been there done that one. :) However, now I have my trusty piller and that's been a life safer for pilling. Although, once I got hang of giving medicine I could get the pill down and have it stay down. I like the piller it is a neat gaget.

Hubby and I were quite pleased with ourselves, finally getting the hang of pilling Ash,and thought what a good boy he is,little did we know, I am going to invest in that gadget, I enquired at his visit, but since that was expensive enough, decided next time I will get one, when I pick up their flea treatment.

Carole you have no idea what a difference the piller will make for you.
Rascal has the fastest paw in the West (of the U.S.) and can snag me with a claw so rapidly.
I have seen so many of my cats go PATOOIE with an expensive pill in my day.
I hope that Ash is soon much much better.

Gini hubby and I thought we had it in the bag so to speak, hubby holds Ash by the scruff of the neck, points his head upwards, I open his mouth against much resistence and pop it well down his throat, then stroke his throat to help it down, but the sneak must have swallowed and still managed to keep it in his mouth and spat it out later.
I am only concerned that he did not get all the others now, but I have not found any other white or bright pink pills around, so hopefully he got the course, I am going to get the pill contraption for sure.

The piller ran us about $5 or $6
At the time I thought I just spent some serious cash here at the vets, it would of been nice to get it for "free". Not the case that day. :rolleyes:
-
I have friends that swear by the piller, but I've tried it and I'm just not coordinated enough to use it. :rolleyes:
Good luck. Glad to hear Ash is on the mend.

Yes cats can be very sneaky when it comes to pills. That's why I always open up their mouths to double check that the pill has really been swallowed.:)
Ash may sneeze for up to a week or so because this is what Sky did when he had been sick. Sky had to be on antibiotics for 2 weeks but luckily he's very easy to pill. Good luck and I hope that Ash gets better very soon.:)

:D :D We've seen plenty pills come flying out at the time, but I've never found one later!
We do find the piller good. It's easier to get the pill far back in their mouth. It's still a two person job though! - well with our girls anyway.
