I also "get" to have a lovely tasting anti-biotic along with my shot (10 days I suffer this indignity) called Antirobe. It helps when the red gums get especially tender.
Every session, I can go longer between shots and antibiotics, so I am getting better. Be patient and thank your mom for taking such good care of you.

Get well soon....

Hi Percy! Thanks for sharing your story with me and my meowmmy! I had to take that yucky Antirobe (Clindamycin) too .... but it didn't help me at all .... so I suffered through that for nothing! I hope I don't have to take shots for a whole year ... my vet already said maybe a couple of months ... oh brother! My meowmmy hates to see me losing weight because I have always been her big fluffy boy! Now I'm furry with a bony back underneath. She worries so much about me not eating enough. Then yesterday when she gave me some really yummy wet food, I ate it too fast and "left it" all down the hallway. I sure am glad she saw it and didn't step in it!

Thanks again for sharing with me in this .... purrs, Dexter.
