What about putting the dexamethasone liquid on his paw (back of the hand)? He's one of those fastidious self-cleaners, so he'll lick it off. What do you think?

Thank you all for your suggestions! I appreciate the time and thought you put into helping Maxwell (and me)!

He won't take pills either... I don't know what to do. I'll look into the chew treat, although their lowest dosage is still twice as much as his prescribed dose. Thank you.

Hi everyone! Maxwell is 6 years old and has always refused to take oral medication. So it's been injections when needed (allergy, antiobiotics). He needs to start taking liquid dexamethasone now, orally, and as expected, he's refusing. The vet swore up and down that it's flavorless and...

A big THANK YOU to all of you!!!!  @betsygee, @Armina, @oneandahalfcats, and @allenkm  - thank you for taking the time to help us, and for posting your pictures. I am going to get The Marv one of those fabulous huge cat trees you showed. All my baseball memorabilia is going on eBay tonight for...

Hello everyone - I am hoping for suggestions! Our Marvin is two years old, strong and full of energy. Thirteen pounds of muscle. As a kitten he was allowed out to the back yard, where he promptly climbed trees up to 30 feet in the air. Once he figured out how to scale the fence, my husband got...

Thank you, Ritz and Cindy! I will email my vet and ask him. He is very good and understanding. We've been good customers to them (=spending lots of money at the clinic, LOL). We used a trap that my husband borrowed from a friend who works in removing live critters from people's attics. It's a...

Dear friends - Jerry and his littermates (now 9-10 months old) eat and sleep in our garage. He has been injured (I think one of the male cats in the neighborhood bit him on the hind leg). It is very pus-y, and he cannot put weight on it. All my attempts to trap him have failed. I have, however...

Good idea! Thank you! We'll have our fearless vet do the trimming, though...  :)

Hello, A question about a kitten we rescued, who was separated from his siblings (perhaps too soon). He is outgoing, friendly, and learns very quickly by observing us and the older cats in the house (who don't want to play with him because they're old ladies). He's pretty young but crunches on...

I wanted to add an update! We asked the vet for a medication that would make her sleepy at night. Now we give her a quarter of a pill in the evening, and she sleeps through the night. In the last couple of nights, we didn't give her the med at all, and she is good. The pressure is off and...

I will try! Thank you all so much! I would never, never have her put down unless she was terminally ill and in great pain, which is not the case here. I love her so much. Hubby has been put in a good mood tonight, and agreed to wear ear plugs. I'll look at arthritis medication. She is pretty...

Thank you. We tried it last night. She yowled all night. My husband is beside himself. He wants to euthanize her. What do I do? I am typing this this morning as I'm following her around, since she just keeps yowling. I thought she'd go to sleep already, and she's still walking around and...

Hi everyone, this is my first post. I'm glad I found this site. Our cat is 18 years old and sometimes "zones out" (kitty Alzheimer's). She yowls very loudly, 8-12 times in a row, sometimes as much as every hour! This goes on every night. We have done almost every test in the book. It is not a...
