Lacey is home. UPDATE P2 #17

Oh poor girl, I'm glad it's over with now. It hurts me just to think about
the pain she must have felt. Hope she feels much better each day and
bounces back to her old self.

Lacey had a good night, slept soundly right through.

This morning, I got about 1/4 cup of moist food in her, byt smearing a bit on her upper lip and letting her lick it; other than that she would not take it.

So then I tried to get the 3 pills in her; got her so worked up and nervous she threw up. Sigh, so I gave up.

I gave her a bowl of moist food when I fed the others, and she ate about half, so about a quarter cup again. She isn't settling down, restless, but she won't come NEAR me now, so not sure I can get any meds in her.

Usually it's only the cats I have trouble getting pills into.I mask any pill in a small bit of wet food
and they take them easily.I'm sure you have tried just about everything by now, but hope you
can get Lacey to take her meds next time. Heal up soon Lacey.

Does she like cheese? The only way I can get pills into Sparky is to hide them in a little Velveta cheese ball, or dissolve them in a little water and squirt that in with an eye dropper. Both these guys are impossible to pill, and cooperation is not in their vocabulary.

Lacey just ate about half a cup of canned food, plus half a "shake n bake" chicken breast - MY SUPPER! LOL

She is definitely doing better, and she is not having any part of her pills, silly girl!

Went to the vet this evening so Lacey could have 2 shots - penicillin as she has not taken any antibiotic, and a shot for pain relief. She refused to take any of her meds all day long. I felt awful carrying her in there, she was shaking like a leaf in a hurricane, and cried when we first went in the door. Came home and she threw up.

Poor girl. I hope she heals up quickly. Would your vet be able to give you the medication she needs with extra syringes so you don't have to keep bringing her back to him? I've had to do this before with my cats and as long as you feel comfortable with giving injections, it's so much easier to do them at home. Good luck.
