She seems better. It's so hard with cats refusing to admit they feel bad. She has eaten and hasn't thrown up, two good signs.

I am not able to get the liquid antibiotic into her. Have you ever tried to hold a large lively live fish well enough to apply 1.5 ml to the gullet? Well, it doesn't work; I'm wearing amoxycillin.

If you wear something pink while giving the medicine, it helps!

Glad Murphy's doing better. If she's got enough fight in her to have you wearing Amoxicillin, that's a good sign. LOL!!

I've been fortunate, I guess. Never have too much trouble getting meds into these critters. Heck.....a couple of them think Amoxicillin is a TREAT!! Go figure! *giggle*

Heh...I know the feeling. One of my kitties had surgery this week (removed a lump, which it appears is probably mammary cancer...I'm trying not to get too upset until more is known) and I've work amoxycillin a couple days this week. Worst of all, she's starting to avoid me. *sigh* And it's especially hard since she has a fresh incision and is sore and I don't want to pin her down or anything.

What's worked best is the old "wrap 'em in a towel" trick, though she still jerks her head aside.
