[sick cat saga] God, everything looked so hopeful for a moment. letterblade and I got some kitten formula into her with a syringe. And then she lapped some on her own. But then, she threw up again.

Which means that the transdermal gel isn't working regardless of whether it's prednisone or prednisolone.

Which means we have one last attempt to try and pill her, tomorrow morning, and if that doesn't work, I have to give her away.

And I can't exactly be hopeful about that, considering how much of a failure we've been with those pills

I don't think desperation actually helps, in this situation

It just makes your hands shake more, and makes it harder to get pill into cat

Problem is, she's not eating anything at all, regardless of whether she likes it or not

lulabeth: I've done that already. I'm really solid on the theory of how to pill her, but she's too big for one person to hold and pill her, and both my mom and I have really small hands

So it's hard to get a hand around her head and press down on the sides of her jaw
;;;;
have you tried wrapping her in a towel? I have to do that with my cats

graesceadwe: Yeah, we wrap her in a light blanket when we try to do this

My current best plan right now is a three person job, unfortunately, since it requires one person to hold her, one person to syringe tiny amounts of kitten formula into her mouth, since she will actually try

to lick it and not spit it out, and thus open her mouth a little, and one person to throw the pill in the moment her mouth opens

Unfortunately, I am not dextrous enough to both syringe and pill

And hopefully once the pill is in her, she won't throw up the kitten formula again
