I haven't been able to get a pill down Zoe since Saturday night.
I have one large liquid syringe and today got liquid cat food with Pred in it down her gullet, 10 ml of water, and then took a warm damp cloth and wiped down her mouth, front legs and chest. Zoe has a marble under her tongue and can't eat or drink (though she wants to!) nor can she groom herself.
Shortly after that feeding I heard her yell twice at Cole. Good sign! She is now curled up - not hiding - and having a good nap.
Both vets are at the clinic today; my regular vet is in at 1 pm. I was there this morning to talk to the receptionist I deal with the most. She had no idea about Zoe as she is not there on Fridays.
Anyway, because Zoe runs and hides (very well) and I can't get a pill into her I have requested a depo-medrol shot for her - long acting Prednisone.
Because she has been running from me I don't want her still scared when her time is up and I'm holding her.
I'm waiting to hear from the receptionist.
Thank you all for your supportive thoughts and prayers.![]()
