Hi - My cat started pee-peeing on a couple of things so off we went to the vet. My vet said he has a bladder infection but he doesn't tolerate Amoxi Liquid very well, so we were given Baytril chewables to mix in his food thinking that was a better alternative. I crushed it up and mixed it in his canned food. Of course, he turned his nose up at it. I got it down him with a syringe, finally. Today I didn't feel like dealing with the syringing, so I just broke the tablet in half and pilled him normally.
It's been four days of this nonsense. The problem is that he won't even eat much of the food I put down for him (without the medicine). He'll eat some of it but then walk away. At least he's eating, but certainly not his normal self. Can antibiotics have that much of an effect on an animal to make them go off their food a bit?
