little bluebell

was really freaked out when she went for her post stitch check up today and was told all is healing really well and to carry on bathing it twice a day with a little salted water, and to have baytril and zantac throughsyring,
after bathing her wound she got soo stressed that when i tried to give her her meds her fur went flying everywhere that i could hardly breath or see so i decided not to give it today poor little girl.
good news is that today she really tucked into some kale
maysie will it hurt if she misses the meds today ?

Do you have any basil? If so you can pop it on a leaf and roll it up - she might take it then and basil smells strong so she might not catch on.

Or inject it into a mini shredded wheat if you have any.

I would try to get it into her - she shouldn't miss the anti-biotics, definitely....

I'm glad she is healing well
I would personally try really hard to get the meds into her. Give her some time to relax and then try again. Hold her tight on your lap or against your chest. If that doesn't work, do you have anyone who can hold on to her on a low table so you can get them in her?

I would also try again when she has calmed down a bit.

And basil does indeed honk!!

It is important Rob that she get's her course of meds especially the antibiotics as they all help with her healing. You could try what Sparky said with the Basil or on a mini shredded wheat we have put some in carrot before today and in treats and on a little bit of wholemeal bread . I just wish we were nearer as we would come round and help give her her meds.

thanks everyone,
i have put baytril in a tiny piece of weetabix (she loves it as she stole one once )
and zantac in centre of a banana piece
hope she noms them

Fingers crossed!!

How did it go? Did she take it?

she's being sneaky she is laying by it so i can't see it and don't want to move her in case she loses interet

so wish you was maysie
she seems very eager for kale so tomorrow am getting a bag and putting meds on it

ok she seems to have eaten the banana but not the weetabix
although she may nom it later

I hope by this morning she has nommed it. Perhaps she was waiting for a midnight munch!

well she did not nom the weetabix with the baytril so took it out this morning and gonna try baytril on kale wish us luck
