I was quite suprised too that he was given oral medicine rather than an injection. A slow releasing anti-biotic would've been much better, easier for Henry and us. He has a weeks worth of tablets, one twice a day and the liquid Metacam is once a day with food. Thankfully he's had two tablets in food today, hopefully the painkiller will start to work and he'll eat better in the morning. I'm quite anxious about him, and my neighbour is going to have to take him on her own next Wednesday as I am leaving to join my fiance's family for Christmas. Hopefully he'll be better by Xmas Eve.
I will be back for any appointments after that hopefully.....
