Re: what would you do


I hope missing one day won't do any harm; I know when people forget to take a dose they usually say just go back to the regular dose tomorrow; suppose it does depend on the drug. They can be so difficult about their medication, can't they!

Re: what would you do


I thought I would give a little update on Millie,,I have tried giving tablets by opening the mouth and poping them to the back of the throat, did not work very well as I discoverd them around the house were she spit them out..
I have tried using a pill popper,and a syringe with the end cut off, the problem always seems to be you have to catch her first, and most cats know when its pill time and wont come near you..so now I mix two tablets with a little butter/margarine keep it on a spoon near me, and when she comes near me just smear it on her leg, seems to work,dont even have to catch her..

Re: what would you do


took her to the vets two weeks ago for a blood test and to be weighed, blood test came back ok and she had not lost any more weight, have to take her back in 6 weeks for another weight check, or before if it looks as if she is loosing weight, so hopefully she will be with me a lot longer..

Re: what would you do


That's excellent news John, like I said early on in this thread, I had two cats on this medication and they happily carried on for years on it!
