Hello Miamha, thanks for letting me know about the side effects you experienced with the anti-biotics. Good to know and gives me some comfort that perhaps this might be temporary, although he was scratching occasionally before. And your description of what they do is so true!! Benny also shakes his head if I lose grip! I do always have a cloth right next to me when I administer, one end damp, other dry, to wipe any foam or drool and dry afterwards, he seems to appreciate that part. I think I have figured out that best way for Benny is to administer half of the 1.3 ml, then another half right after in the same session. Any more than half is too much for him to handle whereas the 1/2 dose x 2 seems more manageable for him. Did that this morning and actually went much better. That said, not easy getting the plunger at exactly half each time, so I am considering having two syringes at the ready, each with half dose.
And just a quick update, this morning his stool was firm and solid for 4th time in a row over 4 days. BUT, about mid morning, he went again and there was one firm piece, but also about tablespoon of soft. It was already covered by the time I got to him in his litterbox, so tough to tell. Hopefully just an anomaly as part of the process of his body working to address this issue.
