One of my cats drools a bit whenever he's all happy from a good petting session. I asked the Vet about it and he said some cats drool from stimulation like that. Have you noticed a pattern on when it happens?
Hi @susan d i just wanted to send you a big hug as I know how stressful and challenging your getting cat in carrier situation is. My one cat is the same and I one time had to lift my mattresses to get him from under the bed. All of this alone. He doesn't like getting picked up or medicated...
I've given my cat 50-100mg of Gabapentin for a Vet visit before. He's about 11lbs. It made him slow down enough so I could get him into the carrier, and he was pretty relaxed during the exam. It took him about a day to get through its effects.
I've taken trazadone myself and it was disastrous...
I'm sorry that you and your kitty are going through such a rough experience. Hugs!
One of my current boys gets especially stressed out with Vet visits, and it takes him a few days to settle down again. It sounds like you've got that happening, too. As challenging as it is getting them to the...
@Brian007 a belated thank you for your response :) Fortunately/unfortunately, Rosco didn't take any of the tylosin. I'm weary about meds, too, especially if these buggers thrive with antibiotics.
I've been swamped with school work and worry over the boys not having been eating well the last few...
Rosco is not taking the tylosin. And it's making him not want to eat. (I sprinkled the capsule in some wet food. I don't blame him.) Both my boys are hard to pill. Rosco bites if you get close to his mouth, unless you're holding treats. I barely slept a wink last night and was crying this...
PCR results for Rosco are in:
Negative for t. foetus, giardia, and other big ones.
Positive for coronavirus and clostridium (last one is 5x)
Vet recommends long lasting steroid next, but also said we can try tylosan to try to decrease clostridium levels. He also said most cats have those two...
Ohhh, I see. Unfortunately, my boys don't wear collars. I tried some time ago, but got the "I will murder you in your sleep" look. I see what you mean about the dish, though, and it sounds pretty cool! :)
Thank you for your kind words :hearthrob:
@Furballsmom thank you :redheartpump: You must've already met Leo then. He's totally the type of piggy that you described. Haha :) I will attempt separate feedings somehow as I don't have my boys microchipped at the moment. Or I'll feed together and then sneak some extra to Rosco. Hybrid idea...
