Big hugs going out to you and to Tiger. You are doing what your heart and your mind are telling you is right. That's the only way to go, you don't want to second guess something like this, or make a rash decision. I'm sure, if the time comes, Tiger will let you know it. They have a way of doing so. In the meantime, give him lots of love and attention, and make sure you tell him we all love him and are pulling for him to beat this!
Thanks Jenn and Michelle and everyone!
I picked up 10 days of Baytril today. He is to get 1/2 a tablet once per day which is going to make things so much simpler than twice per day!
On a whim, I decided to buy some pill pockets to see if they would work. In the past he has snubbed his nose at the salmon flavoured pill pockets and at the dog ones that I accidentally bought for him. Today I bought the chicken pill pockets.

When we got home I split a half tablet into two quarters and put one quarter into a pill pocket and put it on the floor. HE ATE IT!!!

I immediately put the second quarter into a pill pocket and he ate that too! I'm so thrilled. I hope tomorrow goes as smoothly and that the meds begin to bring about a change in Tiger's health. He is very slow moving today but I put him out in the outdoor enclosure this evening and he really seemed to enjoy his time out there watching the robins hopping about making their peeping sounds. I think he'd like it better if he could catch one but he'll have to settle for 'observing' them instead. lol
