Basie, the good pill taker!

[NoahsMommy]

I just know that after I type this, all will change tonight. But, the little guy deserves praise.

His sneezing has been horrible! He has asthma and allergies and they were pretty unactive for the past two years, until now.

He's gotten a few anti-inflammatory injections and one strong one to help his asthma for 6 months. That seemed to help his gasping for air thing. But...his sneezing remains bad. Poor little thing sneezes until he's unable to stand. (Like 50 in a row, I worry he'll pass out because I know he's not getting air when he does that! )

His vet prescribed Chlorpheniramine and Pred 1-2 times daily to get his immune system under control.

Last night, Basie took both his pills with a minimal amount of fussing. This is a big thing for "Mr. Hide pills in my mouth till they let go". I've learned a few tricks that even confuse him, he'll walk away and try to spit out whatever I've already sent down his throat.

He seemed better last night and this morning so far. Yay! Hopefully this will work. Our next step is a kitty enhaler if it doesn't. That should be really fun to give him.

I sure hope he continues to take his little pills!

Poor Basie. What a good boy he was last night. I hope it does continue and he can get some relief.

Aww poor Basie baby - so sorry to hear he's feeling under the weather. But what a clever boy - he knows his Meowmie is trying to make him better with the pills.

Fingers crossed and lots of purrs for the lovely fella from Bagel,Ketchum and Dan xxx

Awww Basie, I hope you continue to take your pills like a good little boy, so that you can stop that nasty sneezing.

Glad to hear that your felt better this morning and pray that you continue to do so.

If there was a word,for the Found Cats,and Pills,it wouldnt be Good Pill Takers! I generally,buy,thier meds,in liqiud form,then,at least,they get the benefit,of a little,of what will cure them.

I LOVE Basie on antihistamines!!!! I know that may sound bad, but we don't call our Basie Bratty for nothing!!

He terrorizes Noel, now that Olivia is beyond his reach and Noel doesn't stop him. I know that tortie girl could kick his little behind, but she just lets him torment her.

Not on Chlorpheniramine!! His sneezing is gone and he's back to his sweet self. Fun huh??

He's getting a tad resistant to pill time, but he's still doing well and I'm getting them down him before he can get them out again.

Yay! We have a calmer, happier house.
