My girl Joon went in last Wednesday for dental work - deep cleaning and they ended up pulling 3 teeth. We also started her on her new Hills Prescription food z/d that will hopefully stop her 24/7 scratching. Luckily she loves the new food. I added hot water to the dry food to make it easier to eat after the dental work. Friday morning after I left for the weekend, husband reports she's sneezing. And thursday we'd noticed some scratching had returned (she'd had a steroid injection the week prior to help her transition to the new food and stop the current scratching). All weekend the snuffles and sneezing continued, so Monday morning I called the vet. They said to bring her right in. Now, they'd given her an antibiotic shot from the dental work so she doesn't have an infection, adn I knew that and relayed that - all clear discharges. But, bring her in.
The vet put her on a prescription antihistamine. She gave me little pills, said I could add them to her food. Joon is VERY tough to get a pill in, and very smart. Once I nab her one time she'll be faster and smarter next time. It's a huge battle.
Well as hungry as my piggy girl is, she's understandably not touching the moistened soft dry food that has pill mixed in. I've tried to dilute it by adding more food, they said only use a tablespoon so that you know she got all the pill at once.
Is there anything I can do with the food? Would something like sugar, help?
