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 jennifer_dunne gets home.

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

I have been given my oldest ferret antiobiotics twice a day, every day, for a month. He is currently on one week off, then one week on, and this will probably continue for the rest of his life.

Ferrets, even fully grown, can be safely scruffed, which is good, because the only way to give him the drugs is to quite literally inject them down his throat. however, we are talking about a ferret, a creature that can seemingly make all bones disappear out of body at will, and flip out of my hands and flash under a bookcase in under two seconds.

(And since they have acute smell sense, trying to sneak it to them via food or treats does not work.)

I feel for you, I do.

Thanks for the sympathy.

Jennifer returns in less than 72 hours. Not that I'm counting....

Naw, I favor one of those ticking digital countdowns, a la 24.

By the way, so far it's Cat: 1, Inept Human: 0. (Managed to administer a partial dose before lost control of cat).

Really, considering cat becomes SUPER_CAT when faced with meds, give yourself some credit for giving partial dose.

Super-Cat - 1. Human - .5
