Help with Charlie... update #16

[Scooter's Mom]

She said we'll run the test again next week. See where to go from there.
She does have a new diet we discussed but we agreed to see how he improves or doesn't on this antibiotic (Clavamox, liquid).

Hopefully he'll be much healthier soon.

Do check the Pill Pockets - your vet might have them, or a good pet store.

Tastes better for Charlie - and less stress all around.

Maybe your vet would give you a sample pack to try, if she has them.

Good luck with dear Charlie!

So good to hear that Scooter is doing well! Poor Charlie, I hope he will be better soon!

Good grief, I don't think a day goes by that I don't learn something from PT! What is a pill pocket? Is that the same thing as a pill popper used to give a cat a pill?

A pill pocket is a "treat like" thing that has a hole in the middle of it where you can place a pill and squeeze the end shut and hopefully your cat/dog will think it's just a treat and eat it! It worked with some of my guys who were hard to pill, and others just chewed all the treat part off of it and left the pill.
