My cat is a straight up terror at the vet. The word fractious has been bantied about since he was 8 years old. He is 13 now and no better. The last time he went to the vet he came home with a toe nail pulled out and had I needed to take him back to the vet... I would not have been able to get him into the carrier.
So tomorrow I am having two vets come out to my home -- now, don't think they haven't done this before. They did it when he was 7 and they couldn't get him to give blood. So they gave me gabitaten. The last time we tried it, it failed. He only ate about 1/2 of it. I have been testing it and I gave 100 mg and I didn't seem to see any good results. I mean he wasn't quite as bad to get into the carrier but he still cried and seemed aware enough to have issues.
So tonight I am supposed to give him 50mg and then tomorrow 150mg. They wanted to try 200 but I refused (he is 17 lbs). If the 150 doesn't do it I will do the 200 mg.
This is straight up the only way I am going to be able to get him medical attention, this has to work. Please pray for me.
