Miss Boo (help needed!)

[Donnaj4962]

I am so sorry Boo has a bad tooth. My Tabby had the same issue a few years ago. She had lost her tooth, and months later, the area got infected. She refusd to even let the vet open her mouth! So I was given liquid antibiotics that I put in a syringe and she took that much easier than she ever has a pill. I would wrap her in a towel, turn her on her back and in went the liquid.

Maybe that would be an option for Miss Boo.

Please be a good girl Boo and take your medicine. It really is good for you!

There is an antibiotic, Convenia, that can be given in an injection and is good for TWO weeks.

Two of my cats have received it in the past year, and it has been a God-send.

Does your Vet use it, and will it work for Boo's problem? It cost us $59 each time, but it was worth every penny.

Yes, Convenia! Why didn't I think of it? It is great and then you don't have to stress Boo out and you don't have to worry about how you're going to get the antibiotic into her.

Wow, my vet must be really reasonable. Morgan had the two week antibiotic injection last month when he had the bladder problems. It only cost $12 or $15.

Have you ever tried the pill pockets?

As any good Mommie would do, I went out and bought some different canned food. Boo ate more of it than the did the other stuff but didn't eat it all. Of coarse I had to give her more to (hopefully) hide the taste and I think that is why she didn't eat it all.. I usually give them about 1/2 teaspoon and she got about 2 tablespoons tonight.

I put in a syringe and she took that much easier than she ever has a pill. I would wrap her in a towel, turn her on her back and in went the liquid.

I have to much going on right now to have to deal with a cat bite. If I have anymore trouble, I will call and ask them if we can do that shot.. I can not risk getting bitten right now... He gave me Clindamycin to give her 75mg twice a day.

Clindamycin is supposed to taste vile. Fortunately Moby is easy to medicate; she just makes a face. Good luck with Boo.

Yes, it's bitter. I refrigerate it and it helps it to go down more easily.
