I'm thinking of trying the vanilla extract with Obie and Girlie but I need some clarification... I've read on this site that I should apply a drop or two under the chin, and the base of the tail. Under the chin is easy to understand. What exactly does the base of the tail mean? Just above the anus, or on the back?
Here's why I'm thinking of trying this...
A few days ago we took Obie to the vet to get some dental work done. His teeth were in rough shape, which we knew a while ago but we had to deal with Oscar's problems before we could do anything about that (a story for another time. Long story short, we had to put Oscar down a few days before Xmas
)... The dentist ended up having to remove 10 of his teeth, including two extra teeth he had. Apparently he had a bunch of teeth missing already and he's now left with what looks like his four fangs, and one tooth on the upper jaw of both sides. Before that we had to leave him at the vet's for a day to get some ultrasound scans done for his heart murmur to make sure he would be okay to be put under for the dental work.
He seems to be in great shape now. He being super friendly with me but his back-to-back stays at the vet has given him a hospital smell with Girlie HATES. They used to be best buddies and now she hisses at Obie when he comes to say hello and play. We want to give both cats a bath but it's probably too soon to traumatize Obie that way. We've done enough to him this week already. We want to let him get over it a little before we dunk him in water.
Should I just man up and give them both a bath first to see if that helps the situation, or go straight to the vanilla? I tried the towel switching trick, and Girlie refuses to eat near Obie.
