X ray showed no broken bones so far. The Dr. said there is one bone that is notorious for showing up later, say two weeks. I got a nice little brace on it now.

Cat is acting normal today, spit out the pill three times before I got it down her.

Getting pills into a cat is a trying procedure.

I've found the best way is to wrap kitty in a thick towel with only the head sticking out. This allows a chance that your arms will not become bloodied, and reduces how much kitty can squirm. If you can find one, a "pet piller" might be useful, if you locate the kind with the soft tips. This allows you to get the pill way back in kitty's mouth past the fangs, and makes it harder to spit out.

I have had some success with using a little bit of a pill pocket to wrap the pill in. Then I put the pill waaaay back in kitty's mouth, back into their throat. Wrapping it in the soft pill pocket takes away any sharp edges and makes it easier to swallow.

Wanted to add....Baytril may make kitty nauseous. If this happens it can easily be taken care of with 1/4 tablet of Pepcid AC. No other Pepcid, just the Pepcid AC only.

1/4 tablet about 1/2 hour before pilling or eating should help nausea, if any.

I've got a mllion hints. With 4 cats, 2 past diabetics, 2 hyper thyroids and one anxiety ridden cat on Paxil, I've become a bit of a home vet to be able to save money. If you need ay help, please ask because I've probably been through it. =^..^=
