Thanks everyone! we have normal poop again!

I don't think Sleeves has been since Friday morning but he probably doesn't have much to pass anyway. Nismo has done 3 big healthy poops! yay!
We are continueing with the antibiotics until the course is finished. I have to say, pilling them is absolutely breaking my heart.
Sleeves is ok, once you manage to prize is mouth open he usually swallows it quite easily. Nismo is a different story. Everytime she sees a towel now she runs scared as I have been wrapping them up to pill them.
I came to work very upset today as she just wouldnt come near me this morning

Normal poop dance coming right up.

Dexter is easy to pill...
With Sadie, I risk my life when I pill her.
I swear she can read my mind and knows in advance when it time.

Calming vibes are on the way...
not that they will help.

Oh boy do I know the heartache of the running-away kitty! Lazlo wouldn't come when called for dinner, and he ran away from me for WEEKS after his course of pills was done with!

On the other hand - it is always SO worth it. They may hate me for a while - but they get better and feel better. You just have to stay focused on that. !!

I am SO glad to hear the good news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were told to remain calm - keep in mind they are like babies...they pick up on your anxiety. Just remember that its for their own good. Maybe after giving them their pills immediately get out a special treat. A little sucking up never hurt )
Thats just what I did with my Black Beard. He was on meds for almost 3 weeks. The first week and a bit it was twice a day with two pills - man that was hard. Got to the point where the kids were better at giving it cause they didnt' get as upset as I did.
