Some updates:
I administered Jade's meds in the corner of his mouth this evening, little by little and kept his head up. I also stroked his throat and told him what a good boy he was, lol. He's such a mellow and calm cat, it's great. Even the vets loved him.
He took ALL his meds, nothing spit out, I'm so glad! He seems to be doing well with Clavamox. No reactions, nothing. Although he did use the box a lot today, I'm hoping that will diminish drastically tomorrow. I understand it may take a few days for the meds to really kick in and heal it up. But I've been keeping him in my room to rest and relax with a litter box. He's active, but I can tell he's not all feeling great, lol. He's been 'lying' around a lot, lol.
I also notice he has not been drinking much water, I have been in my room cleaning most of the day so I've been watching him closely.
I saw him drink some this morning and I change his water twice a day, but I will consider a fountain for sure. I am flat broke right now! So, I added some hot water to some dry food to soften it up a bit and when it was warm enough, fed it to him. I don't think he cares for the food or he's not feeling well because he eats like a piggy, lol. He perks up when it's time to eat and cries like he never eats, lol.
But with the water in his food, I figured at least he'd get some fluids this way. He ate the whole thing, which is great...so I will continue to add some warm water to his food every day and will also add some canned food to his diet as well. a quarter can in the morning mixed with some dry and a quater at night. I won't give it every night, but a few nights a week.
I have a veterinary manual that I found in the attic and it states to add a little salt to the food, but too much can cause diarrhea. Another remedy was to add wet food or add some milk, but I know dairy is not good for cats. Another person told me to give the cranberry supplements as it worked wonders for her cat and she feeds him this food ONLY and he's been UTI free ever since, but I will get in touch with Sharky:
