My Caturday...Kassey

I got on Mom's jacket after she got home yesterday. After awhile she said I had to haf my pill. Andy and Sheila had to take one of their little woofies to the v-e-t and Andy was just too tired to come. Mom told him that she was gonna try butter with the crushed pill. First, she put it before me...mol. I smelled it...haha.  Then she sucked it up in the small thingy and I sure gave her a fit as she tried ofer and ofer. She nefer got it all down me. She finally rubbed it on me and there's still some left in my dish. She sure made a mess on the windowsill too.
Mom thinks I'm better and we so appreciate all the purrs and prayers and grrrrs. I am sleeping better and not getting Mom up like before.
Someone asked about the pain shot. Mom didn't think to ask but she thinks with the infection, I probably had pain. I shook my head a lot , probably infected ears as well. She said my ears were red too.
Andy and Sheila will be here today fur more pill giving. This is a 9 day ordeal.....oh woe is me.

  1. Oh, Kassey, I am so sorry for your ordeals. Purrhaps Mom should talk to the vet, because maybe they can give you some long acting shots instead of all this pilling.

    There IS a type of pill shooter Mom saw some other kitties had - we have never used one, but I think if they get it into your mouth it can shoot the pill down the back of your throat. It would still take help, though, I think.

  5. Poor Kassey & Mommy! Our mom sits and holds us tight between her legs with our heads away from her. Then she grabs us by the face, on both sides and pulls our heads straight back. That forces our mouths open and with her other hand she pushes the pill as far down our throats as she can. Then she clamps our mouths shut and strokes our throats until we swallow (with our heads still pulled back). Then she pulls our heads back again and looks to make sure the pill went down. Its really fast, less than 30 seconds (it took longer to type this). She hopes this helps.

  7. Kassey,

    I'm not sure you read my post when I was at VET or not. The doctor gave me two shot for vaccinations. and I did react nothing ! Like nothing happens ! so my dad asked the doctor " Do cat feel pain when take a shot ? " The doctor said no because " Cat skin is not attached to the underlying body like human. So when te doctor gave me a shot , the fluid run into the space under the skin. That's why I feel nothing !

    And I had to take a pill for 5 days, but daddy did force way to me. Just open my mouth and drop medicine in my mouth. If you don't want force way, You are better eat, Kassey !

    And I'm sure I purrs more for you, Sweet heart
    xoxo

  8. Oh I am so sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well Kassey. Giving pills is not for the faint hearted. I know when I have had to do it. I would get it as far down the throat and hold the mouth closed till the my cat swallowed. Butter it up good first and it slides down better as well. It's hard to be forceful, but it gets the job done faster and the ordeal over. I will be praying for you and your mom that you get better and take all your pills.

  12. Honey, please try the pill pockets, chicken flavored unless you already have. Ask if you can have a 2 weeks antibiotic shot instead of pills?

    Love and kitty kissies
