Hello, and thanks for the information. Cornelius is sometimes active and runs around my kitchen meowing at me and climbing up my leg wanting some wet food. He rubs his head on my ankles and looks up at me with hs big blue eyes. He can eat a whole 2.75 oz container of meow mix in one sitting. He eats 3+ per day. Plus some kitty milk between feedings. He is only stoned for a few hours between feedings and usually drools all over the place. But he is still active and runs around from time to time.
I almost forgot, along with the buprenex 3x daily. The vet also prescribed .15 ml of Metacam every other day. I pay $10 for a 1.5 mg bottle. (I think I'm reading the receipt right). But the Buprenex is $127.43 for 4.2 ml. That's the one that goes pretty quick. A little more expensive than I initially thought after looking at my most recent receipt.
I put the medicine on his food because his mouth is a mess. The swelling and drool is a nightmare, and his tongue hangs out of his mouth. He doesn't want to let anyone near his mouth or jaw. He used to love to be sctatched under his chin but now we have to steer clear. I forced a syringe into his mouth last week and it just pissed him off. He ended up running upstairs and hiding under a bed. It seems to work ok on his wet food so we kept going that route.
My girlfriend informed me this morning while I was at work, Cornelius was struggling at the kitty litter and making strange noises. I'm assuming this is the constipation that I was told to watch for. It seems that sometimes his stool is solid and other times very watery. But always a light tan/orange in color. Not sure if this is because of the drugs or the change in diet from dry food to wet. Or maybe a combination of both.
Thanks again for everyone's input.
