Cole to the whitecoats on Tuesday Update #11

Awwwwwww! Cole, you will be feeling so much BETTER once you are over the meds!!!!!

I got worried tonight. I am to give Cole the liquid painkiller tonight and tomorrow morning until the patch kicks in.

I mixed it in wet food. I mixed it in warmed evaporated milk with a bit of warm water in it. NOPE.

I mixed some non-medicated wet food with a bit of very warm water. He wanted to eat it, but could barely eat anything.

Finally I took one of the syringes with the painkiller and squirted it into the side of his mouth. At least that will kick in for the night. Poor baby!

He enjoyed head rubs and even started to purr. Hurting baby, and still wanting to show love and headbumpies!

I know the healing is starting and he will eat more, but the first night is a bit difficult. Will update tomorrow.

Thanks again for the thoughts and good wishes!

I hope Cole had a good night and is on the mend this morning. Hugs all around!

I hope Cole is feeling better this morning!

Cole ate a bit more willingly this morning. The fentanyl patch should have kicked in by now, so I just have to get the antibiotics into him.

To that end, I bought a large can of salmon! I bet even the juice from that will mask any nasty med!

I read on PT about how some cats are so tuned in to each other - they know the other is sick, and behave well.

Zoe is incredibly UNtuned! She still "meeps" at Cole and expects a good fight! I have had to tap her on the nose a couple of times so she leaves Cole alone!

All goes well...Cole is healing.

Thanks again!
