I believe we have URI... Questions

[critter crazy]

I have to give Amoxicillan to my two reascue kitties 3 times a day, because of a URI. the Amoxicillan is in liquid form, and I give it to them, just like the vet showed me. Yo fill a med. syringe to the proper dosage, grab the kitty by the scruff, tilt head back, and insert syringe and ush the plunger down. They immediately swallow. No muss no fuss. They both take it quite well!

This is exactly what I TRY to do... it just dont go so well. This kitty has caused some pretty severe scars to my poor husband in the past. He had her by the scruff of the neck, and the legs... nope. She is a fighter. But she has the liquid meds (im not sure the kind, its pink and fruity smelling) I usually slather it on her back and she licks it off. I hope thats an ok way. Otherwise she wouldnt get that much in our war to get it down her. Maybe the vet will give me more or something different and I will see what he thinks about the babes. I dont know if possibly the antibiotic she is on already is passing to them through milk or not?
