Sickbay

My cat superimposed into Star Trek's sickbay.

I tell ya, I am getting the full-on kitty treatment! The antibiotics I have to administer with an dropper are pretty traumatic. So far I think I’ve succeeded in aiming them at his lungs and not his throat because he sneezes so much afterwards.

He is getting better though. I think he’ll be fine by Friday. He’s nested in my down comforter and sleeping to beat the band. He’s started purring again which means he’s done being pissed at me. I have to administer the antibiotics twice a day.

    Woah! Your vet is high-tech! Out in Oregon we don’t have such extreme equipment. :)
    Glad to hear Kitty is improving.

    (He looks like a Sully or a Miles to me).

    You know, I had the same problem with my cat when she was sick. She had to take pills and not a liquid. She hated taking the pills so, I got a can of moist cat food and then smashed the pill into dust and mixed it into the food. She ate it because 1-she liked the food so much and 2- she could no longer taste the Rx in the food. I might work with liquid antibiotic as well.

    Your little cat rocks!
