Our Rusty has diarrhea and is getting real thin. Had him to the vet a year or so ago.
Said he had some kind of bug from testing stool sample. Tried to give him some meds and he was better for a while. We didn't get enough meds in him to help, he seems to go from ok to bad diarrhea at times.
He is impossible to give meds to. He somehow knows when I am about to give him meds before I even get the meds and he is gone and hides in places so we can't get to him.
I know he needs to go to the vet but if we can't get meds into him like he needs what are we to do?
We might sneak on him the first time with a new med the first time but after that its not going to happen. He is high strung as it is and trying to corner him to give him meds just freaks him out. And if I do catch him I get all tore up from his claws. We can't get him wrapped in a towel either, been there, done that.
I feel so bad for him. what to do???
