Yep I'm still fighting with her today, she hates taking it. I'm not sure if my vet can can mix in flavors or not but I will ask tomorrow. I have to go take Apollo tomorrow. I feel bad I have to fight with her about this. This morning she spit out her amoxi pills several times and I'm sure it tasted nasty by the time I got it in her mouth.

I tried to give her the yellow (decongestiant pill) again and she kept spitting it out. So I gave up on that this morning and I'll try later tonight.

Thanks for the info,
Melissa

You can get amoxycillin (sp?) in a liquid form and flavored. I had to give it to my RB kitty Jamara once. They didn't have the tuna flavor on hand, the only thing they had was bubble gum (yes, bright pink). I had to get it in her as soon as possible, so I took it. She had no problem with bubble gum flavor until literally the last day. Jamara had enough and she spat it back out; all over the kitchen. I was finding little bright pink dots for a really long time!

Find a pharmacy that does special blending. I think the one near me is (maybe was, I haven't had to do this in a long time) Physician's Choice? Check with the vet, though, they'll know who does it. Let us know how it goes!

I have to pill my Ming every day! The Pill Pockets don't work on him, so I just have my son hold him and put the dang pill down his throat. For about 2 months I was sporting some pretty impressive scrathches, but for the last 9 months or so, he has been much easier to pill. He has to be on this regimen for the rest of his life, so I love that he has accepted the pills. I just need to ask my vet what I should do if I have to go away for a couple of days. I don't think he can be pilled by my son by himself.
I hop Claudia gradually accepts the pills or that you find a way she will take them without starting WWIII.

Tonight Claudia will be getting her last dose of amoxi. I'm so so glad.

She was sneezing a little last night and I'm hoping though in a few days she will be feeling better and won't need more meds. Prays would be appreciated.

Thanks,

What about Convenia, Melissa? It's an injection that lasts for two weeks and is a life saver for those of us who have cats who are difficult to medicate. It isn't always the med to be used but you might ask your vet about it for next time.

Mary-

Thanks! I believe one of my guys got that before I can't remember who though.

I should of asked for that I'm going to have to call the vets becasue when I got home tonight her eyes had more discharge and it's a darker kind of discharge but overall her eyes looked ok.

We'll see what they say tomorrow.

Last night when I got home from work Claudia had dark discharge from her eyes and she still doesn't look like she feels well.

She has been throwing up liquid stuff as well probably since early Friday morning and then again on Saturday morning as well as Sunday.

I was hoping she'd feel better by now. She hated taking those pills but I got them down.

I hope it's nothing serious. Claudia is 7 years old now so it's better to be safe than sorry.

Please say a little pray that she feels better soon.
