Sorry about your bite. Amazing, the damage one little tooth can do. Perhaps you're aware of these options...do you have or can you get a pill popper? Then your fingers are not right in her mouth. It's only good for pills, though. Some meds that come in pill form can be crushed and put in a small amount of water (or tuna/chicken broth), sucked up into a (needle-less) syringe and squirted in the cat's mouth. Again, fewer fingers so close to the cat's pointies. Even better, if she's eating and she eats up the broth with meds in it, you can just let her eat it. Sometimes the med taste/smell is too off-putting and the cat doesn't eat it. I'm sure you'll help Hodjee in whatever way she tells you is best. Feel better, gorgeous kitty! Ouch!

So sorry about that bite. you know if she was feeling better she wouldn't have probably done that. i didn't want to look at your website today for fear that our torti girl could be gone but we still hope out for the best.

Oh no. That must have been so traumatic for both of you. I'm sorry it is so difficult. Good that you got the antibiotic in her, can't you wait a couple of days with the other drugs? I don't hope Hodjee will give up just yet, please try Hodjee. Did you have a tetanus shot recently? Take care of that wound okay? Maybe it is in Hodjees favor that she is still so fiesty. Good luck for the both of you, I hope you'll have a calm day together. Thanks for the update. I hope this comment gets through (I commented on your previous post and it hasn’t showed up, oh well).

I am so sorry. Mom will use extra extra caution around your swollen neck area and bruses...but we think the thyroid meds may help. Other kittys have 9 lives...come on Hodjee.
