So far so good with the transfer factor! This suspension is really thick! It is in a squeeze bottle, but the pharmacist also gave me a syringe. I was dreading the thought of having to syringe another thing into Morgan. It stresses him out and makes him upset. First I put a squirt of it in a bowl to see if he would just eat it. Nope. Then I got some salmon canned food and mixed it in good and then added a bit more. At first there was just a tentative lick or two. Eventually he ate most of the glob. Then I went back and added a little more canned food. Voila! It's all gone. It sounds like more food than it really was. I just used one of those small Whiskas cans. He ate maybe a third of one total. If he will eat it like this, I will be so happy.
Last night I gave him some of the Metacam because he looked like his mouth was bothering him. I don't know if it did any good. He slept with me for the first time in about a year or more. He used to sleep with me all of the time, but since I've changed where I sleep, he will only take a nap with me in there. He'll come in there in the mornings and lay above me. But last night he came in and laid right next to my side with my arm wrapped around him all night. I could tell he was doing a lot of tongue licking. Not licking anything in particular, just moving his tongue around. This morning I gave him some of the other pain medicine and haven't noticed him doing that today. He's eaten and has had quite a bit of water as well. I may just have to keep giving him the pain medicine. That won't be too bad as long as he keeps eating the transfer factor on his own. I'm not getting my hopes up though. He can be stubborn. hehe At least he had a dosage today.![]()
