They should have an emoticon for tears for my subject line!
Im so frustrated!
I have to pill Jayce with antibiotics (Clavimox I think?) 2 times a day for 10 days.
Yeah right! How the heck am I gonna do that?
The vet made it look sooooo easy! Just firmly hold the bone under the eyes and pull the head back, drop the pill in the gap in back of the hump of the tongue and gently close its mouth.
We just did our first pill and Im a wreck
Its Jayce, my easiest cat thank God. Fortunately I didnt suffer any damages although my poor baby probably hates me now!! It took almost 10 minutes of struggling and different positions and tricks. I even tried to hide it in some good wet cat food. Nope, he ate around it
So then I had to shove it down his mouth.
Hissy, how the heck do you do this to ferals?????!!! My God, it is more difficult than I ever imagined! Its times like this I wish I had someone else living with me to help. I ended up putting him on top of the stove and trying to pin him down with one arm and prying his mouth with the other. I almost got a few angry paws in my face but I was able to move out of the way.
But man, Im shaking, that was so difficult and frustrating. How am I going to do this 19 more times???
