Please Pray For Micheal at the Found Cat Hotel GREAT UPDATE!!

[joycenalex]

big prayers for the very unhappy kitty. gary i don't have any advice, but i think the idea of trapping him in the smallest room you can until he's finished with his meds is a good one.

[Laura's Babies]

Prayers for him and his Dad. Can you sneak it in a treat or his food or is he to smart to fall for that?

[Reachoutrescue]

OH Gary, I sure hope Michael chills out for you. It is hard because he does not realize it is for his own good. Good luck, he will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Mocha had the Feline herpes and bad URI when I rescued her, she was Given an Antibiotic shot and was on ammoxicillan 3x a day as well as Lyine tablets, and I also used Eye drops which seemed to help very well.

The Eye drops were Similasan Brand Pink Eye Relief, Homeopathic. Found at your local drug store. I just held Mocha by the nape of her neck, and gave her 2-3 drops per eye, a couple times a day.

Lysine tablets, found at any drug store, crushed up in soft food.
here is a pic of Mocha before


And after.


Good luck gary, prayers for michael!

Poor Michael! How did he get the virus?? Is it something that was maybe latent in his body and has just now come out?? I know the herpes virus can be like that in humans (it stays in the blood and nervous system) and causes cold sores, shingles, and of course herpes and chicken pox. I get cold sores, and I also take L-Lysine when I feel that I am getting one... the tingle on the lip is a give away on that. Do you need some lysine?? I can send you a bottle of that, and some other good stuff for Michael. I have some things that I picked up for Alex to help him get better, get more energy, but he never made it to that point. It's all yours if you would like it!

Sounds like Michael is getting his Viralys, which is Lysine.

Now, the Antirobe drops are quite bitter (I've tasted it) and I always ask for the capsules instead.

Gary, when you have an uncooperative patient, as I have. You have to sit down and say to yourself: Our brains are bigger than yours.

Use deception. Trick him into a confined space, then let him simmer down.

Try to wrap him in a towel and straddle him, to pill him.


My MOST difficult patient is my own Bella. She turns into a giraffe as soon as something starts to happen.

Snowy likes to run away, he's fast, but he's not bright. So, he's easily tricked.

Good luck with Micheal, we'll be singing for you!

Puddy was on Viralys after her surgery but for the life of me I can't remember why. I do remember, though, that she hated it. But then, she hates everything. Calicos and orangies are tough cookies so I had to be stern w/her to get her meds into her. And if that meant isolating her, that's what I did. You may have to enclose Michael in a separate room until he becomes more cooperative. I wish I could be more helpful.

Poor Micheal.I will keep him in my prayers.Pumpkin sends get well meows to a fellow Orangie.

Gary, can you get those medications in a pill or capsule formulation? It might be easier to give it in a pill pocket (i.e. disguised as a kitty treat).

[cassiesmom]

Our Dearest M.: I'm glad to hear that you're letting your Dad give you the Viralys and the clindamycin drops. I know it is nasty (I'm a nurse) but, please, please let your Dad continue to give your medications to you. Cassie and I want you to be a healthy and strong senior Found Kitty! Love, purrs and head bops... elyse and Cassie Cat. =^..^=
