Linus, our four-legged boy, had a mole-like thingy removed from his back this week. It had been there for a long time but recently took on a life of its own, and the vet said it should come off. They sent us home with a half-drugged (and very angry!) cat and a bag of medicine -- cherry-flavored pain killers and banana-flavored antibiotics.
Anyone who's squirted medicine down the throat of a cat knows that it's loads of fun -- regardless of the flavor. But add to that the artificial fruitiness and you've got one pissed off feline. Luckily, the doses are gone and he's healing just fine. But I'm calling him Patchy until all the hair grows back.
I think we need to see a picture of Linus aka Patchy.
ReplyDeletePoor Linus- do they think that will take care of it? How on earth did you get the meds down? Did it take two of you?

ReplyDeleteHey- last comment was from me.I am new at this!
Sherry - Now that the camara has returned from a climbing trip, here's the requested photo of the cat.
ReplyDeleteDonna - The vet said it would likely keep doing what it was doing unless we took it off. And that should be the end of it. He doesn't seem to notice a difference. As for the meds, I sat on him, pried open his mouth and squirted it in. I think most of it went down - maybe :)
