pontalba Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Poor baby! I hope it's clearing well so she doesn't have to go back to the vets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Pixie Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 Aw, thanks Gaia, Devi and Kate. Have you ever tried putting eyedrops into a cat ?? Not fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Have you ever tried putting eyedrops into a cat ?? Not fun. We had to put eyedrops on Boris' eye a while ago, after he had had surgery on it. This took several people because he's so strong. So I can imagine it's hard to put them on your cat's eye. I hope she is doing a bit better, though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsa Orlong Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Have you ever tried putting eyedrops into a cat ?? Not fun. I dread to think! Trying to give Pixie any medicine is a trial - she clamps her jaw shut and fights like a ninja, so I don't even want to contemplate putting drops in her eyes Hope it all does the trick and Xiao-Xiao is better soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She does some heart-rending squeaks when she`s captured for the drops, then hides under the bed for hours. It`s sad, `cos she doesn`t understand we`re being nice to her, by giving her medication.

pontalba Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I know, I wish we could make them understand how important it is, for them to get the meds. Funny though, I think they do understand some of it.....or maybe it's the soothing talk accompanying the meds. I did have a cat with conjunctivitis years ago. What a nightmare. He eventually had to have surgery on his eyelid.....drops forever, it seemed. My Aunt was alive then, and it took both of us to accomplish the feat, twice a day. For the pills though I have one of those suture things....long, scissor-type tongs, blunt ended, and curved at the end to push the pill down the throat. Can't trust my fingers in there! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`m less concerned for my fingers, more concerned that she might pooh or faint - she`s easily stressed, and regularly wees or poohs in her basket on the way to the vet, poor girl.

pontalba Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Love the article! Especially this..... Thankfully, Buster understands that when absent, we are running “errands in order to keep me in the way I am accustomed”. Perfect! Never had a cat poo or pee in that situation, dogs.....yes. Cats. No. Hope baby is feeling better by now, how's the eye? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Hope baby is feeling better by now, how's the eye? Thanks for asking - she`s stopped squinting now, but it`s difficult to put in eyedrops when someone`s hiding under the bed ! Poor thing, she`s so scared. Hope your little one is recovering well from the abscess. The PC needs replacing ( the Computer Bloke says we can have it repaired for £100, or a new solid state harddrive for £400 - it`s 4 years old, so a new one seems a better bet... ) back in a week, probably !

Glad to hear you've got it all sorted now TBR 793 New Books Bought : 196 I've decided to abandon my statistics next year - they're stopping me from enjoying my reading! The advantage being that I won't be keeping tabs on my TBR pile anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
