So I Get My Cat Back From the Vet ...

[musclemom]

And she's on antibiotics for a week, liquid stuff dosed twice a day, okey dokey ... stuff says "For veterinary use only. For use only in dogs and cats" Printed right there on the box, that's important because it's fucking banana scented/flavored. I'm at a loss to understand the logic of this decision. You create a medication specifically designed to be given to carnivores and you make it fruit scented/flavored? The shit does not say "For use in monkeys" ANYWHERE!

For the love of gods, giving a cat medication is enough of a rodeo without the damned thing fighting you twice as hard because the medicine you're trying to get down it stinks like a fruit roll up.

hmmm, quite a dilema alright....

and makes me wonder .....whats the deal with fruit flavoured condoms? i mean its not a real blowjob if Mr.Johnson aint gettin his head wet .

back to your issue MM, can you not just put the medication into your cats food

 

[smurf2]

My cat is on prednisone and its chicken flavor. We call it his chicken soup

 

[tryin2tone]

We have to fight our 60 pound AmStaph to put some sort of gel in his eye. Apparently, dogs can get conjunctivitis. Whats more fun? The other dog, 65 pound boxer, comes over and tries to help. Good times!

I just picked my great dane up from the vet yesterday as well. He had 3 large lumps taken off his stomach. Anyways he pulled out the damn sutures last night and they are friggin 1.5" to 2" holes into his body, like i can see all types of weird internals thru the holes. I bandaided the crap out of it for now. Anyways taking him back in this morning. I got to thinking tho that the vet sentme home with him with painkillers but no fruity antibiotics. I'll ask for them when i'm there and see what other strange flavor options are out there.

Didnt they send him home with one of those huge plastic collars so he couldnt get to the incision?

 

[wootoom]

I would've took the painkillers fuck the dog

 

[zwhit]

My dog is on valium

obviously not, nice fucking vet life

 

[EnderJE]

What does it taste like?

 

[oxymoron]

Yeah he's got the big cone but he's pretty crafty.

I did mistakenly put a couple pain killers in my medicine cab and ask the vet for more.

My old 200+ lbs. Mastino had to get gel put in her eyes (Mastino's get cherry eye due to loose skin). I had to grab her in a headlock and wrestle her down to the ground in order to put it in her eyes.

That's about what I have to do. Straddle him, hold his head with one arm and then maybe he will be still enough to actually get it in his eye.

you're the only one here who thinks I own a fleshlight

 

[redsamurai]

you're the only one here who thinks I own a fleshlight

and that wouldn't be from you repeatedly asking people if they've ever thought of putting a fleshlight on the end of a rifle. And doubling down when no one cared to answer with a series of please don't ignore posts. It was awkward. I felt awkward for you.

That's what I do when I want to punish wootoom by coming in his eye.

It's become surprisingly easy. I think he likes it.

I remember reading once that banana is an effective cat repellent, so I was also surprised when the vet gave my cat a banana flavored antibiotic. Orange is also supposedly repellent to cats. You'd think they'd make the medicine taste like tuna or sardines. Or rat.

I miss my Neapolitan RIP Draco

How old did yours get? Daphe/Ichi The Killer made it to about 6.5 years.

Drago?

 

[nangiggles]

@ Woot, that was actually a typo, his name was Drako

How old did yours get? Daphe/Ichi The Killer made it to about 6.5 years.

He had to be put down a few weeks after we got him, as a pup he already had level 3/severe hip dysplasia, he was in constant sharp pain, we took him to the vet because he ate sitting down, pee sitting down, rarely ran, never jumped and once while sitting I needed him to get out of the way so I scooted his butt with my foot and he bit me (thank goodness he had no molars yet, just with his "gum" bite my toes were numb for a while) so we clearly noticed he had something in his hip and unfortunately we were right , he was a blueish gray with baby blue eyes

God no, she wouldn't touch the stuff! Most cats aren't as food motivated as dogs and many of them will turn their noses up at something that smells the least bit funny even if they're famished making it tough to sneak medication into a cat's food under the best of circumstances. No, it's a two man operation, one to hold, one to wrench her mouth open and squirt the crap down (mind you, this is a tiny little 6 pound cat and it takes two of us to wrangle her for this, wiggly little shits).

Db, I'm going to have to research that. I go to a cat specialist so if I can find something documenting the banana repellant thing she's just crazy enough to nag the hell out of Pfizer. It's Clavamox, a very commonly prescribed broad spectrum antibiotic and I'm not the only cat owner that thinks the formulation is stupid.

I'm not sure, but I may have seen something about this in one of the Desmond Morris "Catwatching" books?
