Amber is on antibiotic pills (not her favorite thing). But I am also suppose to "rinse" her gums with Hexarinse twice a day. The vet actually said that trying to use it as a rinse is ...... well ....... laughable, so just put it on a Q-tip and rub her gums. Well, guess what? The cat who hates everything (brushing, nail clipping, pills.....) actually lets me squirt this stuff on her gums. (the bottle has a bent tube that squirts a stream). GO FIGURE!
