So Jeffery the cat has been doing pretty good on his thyroid medication. I mix it in his food and sprinkle some fortiflora on it and he eats it up. I don't know if he accidently sniffed it, or if just acquired a URI at the vet. Anyway at his last check up, the vet prescribed doxycycline, 1/4 tab the size of my head (kidding) once a day. Well, the only way to get that to him is to mix it in his food (no go). He did accept it in a pill pocket twice but then rejected it.
So today I got him a humidifier. He didn't have a temp and so the doxycycline was one of those "just in case it's bacterial" things.
He's such a skittish cat that there is no chance of pilling him with a pill gun. Because of his congestion he doesn't really want to eat and so he's not getting his thyroid medication either. I've heated his food up to make it more appetizing and he eats a bit, but not much.
The humidifier seems to offer some relief as long as he's sitting near it. Other suggestions?
