My best friend went to RT

And I get to give drugs to her cat. The vet kindly suggested that I could try liquid antibiotics rather than attempting to feed the cat pills....

Stop by twice a day and feed cat, check.
Clean & change litter box, check.
Play with cat, brush her, pet her, check.
Give drugs to cat.... well it may be priceless at the moment, but I'm pretty sure I'll be able to put a price on this one before [livejournal.com profile] jennifer_dunne gets home.

I was especially pleased with the vet's "Oh, and watch for vomiting" comment.

LOL reminds me of my last cat. Had to give it antibiotics for two weeks after it had to have its tail amputated (nasty car accident) we felt sorry for the poor thing, so every morning and night after plonking it on the table and shoving plls down its throat we rewarded it with five shrimp.

it got so used to the delicacy that after the pills ran out it jumped upon the table every morning and night for three more days... till it realized no more shrimp were coming:)

Yeah, I know dogs like that. Sadly the cat appears to be a bit smarter....

It takes two to pill a cat alas. One to put the straight jacket on and the other to lose their fingers.
