On Monday I had to put my best friend to sleep. Monkey would have been 8 in March. She has dental surgery in April and was never quite right after. The specialist thought she had an inner ear infection, and every time we stopped her meds when she seemed to get better, she would get sick again...

I had to take monkey to a neurologist and he said he thinks she has a severe inner ear infection. He can't tell without a CT scan but he was going over all of her medical records from my vet and using his best judgement. He wants us to treat with steroids and an antibiotic for 12 weeks...

I have tried both pull and liquid. She doesn't tolerate the cherry or bubblegum flavor. She foams from them all. I tried cutting the pill up small and wrapping it in some food small enough to swallow but she still managed to spit it up and chew it and then foamed. I might call them and ask if...

My vet suggested giving Monkey 1/2cc of Benadryl every 8 hours because she has some allergy and inflammation issues and the Benadryl helps inflammation. The problem is the flavor and I've tried stinky food, watering it down and adding some sugar (it worked for an antibiotic once, but not this)...

My cat didn't have fatty liver problems but she did go through a phase of not wanting to eat because of a serious bacterial infection. I found a brand of food called Soulisitic at my local Petco and she loved it. It's a wet food so it's easy to eat and they have lots of fishy flavors. You can...

No. we finished a full round of antibiotics for the toxo. 5 weeks in clyndamycin and steroids. We went for a recheck and we can start weaning off the steroids but he thinks she might have some allergy issues and wants me to give Benadryl a try

they swabbed her ears 2 weeks ago and said there was puss but no yeast or bacteria. Whatever is going on is in the inner ear where they can't see. But they gave me ear drops anyhow and we finished those Wednesday. She goes back Tuesday for a recheck to see how she's coming along off her meds...

Monkey was originally diagnosed with taxoplasmosis back in August. Her eyes dilated like shark eyes, she lost her sight, she lost a lot of weight. She was on antibiotics and steroids for 3 weeks and the new vet in the office discontinued the antibiotics because she said she was recovered. We...

She slept under the chair last night, but she's back in her window this morning. I did notice her flinch a little when she yawned. She got another steroid this morning though. I'm a nervous momma

The vet believed my girl Monkey had toxoplasmosis. (They said they could do more bloodwork and send out to confirm, not sure why they didn't do that 3 weeks ago. I declined for now. She's been through so much so I want to see what happens now that we are taking her off the meds) She was on...

I'll try the smaller doses tonight and see how that works for us. I was worried when I got home and realized it was cherry. I don't even like cherry meds, so I'm sure she hates them

I'll have to try the baby food. This morning after I squirt the medicine in her mouth I used the syringe to get some water in after hoping it would help get it down and get the flavor out of her mouth faster. She kept it down but it was a close call and I just feel terrible that she's having a...

My vet decided my girl Monkey has a bacterial infection. We've been treating with steroids and clindamycin. She's been responding well, but needs 2 more weeks of both medications. My vet ran out of the clindamycin and had me pick it up at the pharmacy. The problem is the pharmacy had to mix it...

It really has been. The inflammation has made it hard to eat. She can't have hard food anymore because it hurts for her to chew and swallow it. The steroids have helped in that process a little, but I have her eating packets of food so she doesn't have to chew it. She can lap it up easier. The...

My 7 year old cat Monkey has been going through an awful time. She's been having eye issues for the last couple months which has slowly progressed into her being almost completely blind. She's also had ear infections. At one point her eyes were both completely dialated, she was stumbling and...
