Great news about the compounding!

I wonder...can the capsule be opened and some of the powder mixed in to good stinky wet food twice a day or something?

Bless your sister! I hope you have a good time.

Tried it and that was a definite NO from Morgan. Aroara came up afterward and gobbled the food, so at least it wasn't wasted. I tried mixing it in pill pockets, chicken broth, wet food. The only way I was getting any in him was to mix it with water and use a syringe. Half of that ended up on the floor. Hopefully the compounding will be easier. I asked if she could make it fishy or taste like chicken. We'll see how it goes. I have a feeling he still won't like it. But he doesn't have to have any other medicines at the moment. Hopefully I can get one dosage in him once a day or at least every other day.

I know how you feel. Sam won't let me pill him or trick him into taking medicine. He hid for the last two days if he thought I was trying to medicate him. It was shots at the doctor. It's jsut easier.

When Puddy was in her decline, there was a conference that I go to every year and I just couldn't bring myself to go last year. I just didn't want to leave her. (She was in such a bad state that I couldn't have done that to my cat sitter anyhow.) I was glad that I didn't go because, if I had, Puddy would've died while I was gone. So I understand exactly what you're going through, however, I also understand how necessary it is to get away and clear your head for a bit. Our peace of mind is important, too. So, whatever you decide, do so w/a clear conscience. What will be will be. Keep the faythe.

I'm glad you were able to get some meds in Morgan. It's never easy it seems. I'll keep saying prays that Morgan does well and if you go have a good time.

I think they can compound the TF in a chicken flavour. if nothing else, it might be easier to mix in food with it being flavoured.

Hugs and prayers for you and Morgan.

The transfer factor is going to be compounded in a fish concoction of tuna, salmon and sardines. It has to do something over night, so I'll be going to pick it up tomorrow. Walgreens couldn't/wouldn't do it. The pharmacist called me and after talking to corporate headquarters, they wouldn't allow her to do it since it is an over the counter item. She gave me the name and number for another pharmacy in the same town. I called them and she was very nice and willing to do it. I'm getting 20 of the pills compounded. Let's hope it goes well!

In other news, I have decided not to go on vacation. I thought and thought about it. I know Morgan would be well taken care of by my sister. I just decided that very soon I would be willing to do almost anything to be able to spend 5 more days with him. So, I'm staying home to do that now.
