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!
