I am so sorry for your awful experience at the vet.I too recently had a horrible visit to a vets clinic that I have used for years.They were heartless,callous and actually offered to put my cat down because he had diarrhea
Sending tons of to you and Attitude
That's so weird Paulie.Mickey was doing the same thing! He was only going once or twice a day in the end but it was loose.When it first started it was more often but then it tapered off.Makes you wonder if it's something in the air
Paulie I too had to find a yogurt pill that was lactose free.I know that sounds like an oxymoron I believe it was a little treat of milk that husband gave him that started the problem.Good luck with Paulie I hope the Bene-bac works well for you
Hi Paulie! I'm actually giving Mickey human yogurt pills.I just give him half a capsule twice a day as Stephanie said she was doing also.I bought them at the pharmacy for under $10.It seemed to make a difference in a couple days!!
Well I didn't start the metro last night because I was waiting to see if he would go again.Nothing till this morning but lo and behold after 2 1/2 dyas of probiotics ....a normal poo I have my fingers crossed that this is finally over.
Thanks for the feedback.My vet figures it is an overgrowth of bad bacteria in his tummy.She had given me Metro but Mickey had a weird reaction to it although she doesn't think it had to do with the metro.
I spoke with her today and she thinks I should try t give him 7 days of the metro.I'm very...
I just started giving Mickey probiotics today for his loose stool.I was wondering if anyone has any experience with them.How quickly can I expect to see results and how long can I give them to him?
That's so sweet My Mom's evil one is named Whitley,I named her when I was 10.She was quite the hunter in her day too,she actually brought home a couple rabbits on occasion.Ofcourse she seemed really sweet when I picked her then 2 days later I broke my foot and was stuck on the couch,she took...
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your little one
Congrats on getting mama fixed though.I know exactly what you mean about the attitude.My Mom has a cat (was mine from when I was a kid) that is almost 24 years old and as nasty as the day I got her!!!!! Everyone is always amazed at how old...
I just wanted to thank everyone for their time and paitentce with me.I called my vet and spoke with the tech.She said that the metro shouldn't cause this problem but if it is making very sleepy he may have just peed in his sleep (poor little guy).She also said I could stop giving him the pills...
Thats what my husband said too.Although he keeps calling me a "helicopter parent" This is Mickey first real issue and the first baby I ever had that was all mine not shared by my mother.I just think that maybe I jumped the gun going to the second vet.She perscribed the metro because she said...
Could that be whats causing the obsessive licking too? I just can't help but feel that even if he hadn't been to the vet he would have been fine on Monday.
I'm sure you'd have to agree that 1 hour for a pill to work is impossible right?
Thanks for your reply He doesn't seem to be acting drunk just sleepy and the pee issue plus he seems to be obsessively licking his bottom.I'm totally terrified to give him another pill.
Well Mickey has had 3 doses of the metro and things have taken a strange turn.Last night he peed on his carpet on the floor.I didn't see him do it but it was right where he lays by his favourite scratching box.e has seemed out of sorts ever since he started it....worse than when he was sick...
I'm not sure if he's cooperating with me or is just too tired to care anymore I just gave him his paste with the syringe in his mouth and he was more than happy to let me.Poor little guy just knows he has no choice now.
If only I could get the hubby to take his sinus infection meds that easily
Thanks so much for the great advice.Seeing as I couldn't get out before I had to give him his pill I used butter.Crazy little buggar followed me into the bedroom licked some off my finger and then I just slid the pill in!
I was so amazed at how easily I did it and what a good sport he was
I...
Excellent idea....my brain is on hiatus since I got sick I think I actually need to go to the pharmacy after for more Sudafed.I'll check that out and if not I think I found somewhere that sells Greenies Pill Pockets but that will be a drive for tomorrow.
Do you give the pill the same way in...
Thanks I think I may try the butter today and see how that goes just for lack of a better solution.Tomorrow I will drag my sorry butt into town and find something more suitable.I wish we had more around us at times like these.
So should I coat the pill in butter???
Congrats on your good news Amazing how much can be controlled by diet isn't it?
We have the same problem with our 2 babies.Each was on a different food when they were introduced to each other.We feed our Gigi on her "catnasium" an elaborate system of shelves my hubby put up for her to climb...
