I’m going to remember this for meds for the boys

I did become a ninja at the vit B shots though

check with the vet first, don’t’ want to use anything that could negate the meds. They get a little leery of any dairy because butt explosions, but since ours are always allowed a little treat (we pre-train the bribery!) he was good. Learned that one when we had pet rats. You can either pill a rat, or get them lining up to gobble the delicious nutigelbaytril

It’s hard because she’s a bit queasy from antibiotics and the blood pressure meds.
I use a lot of yummy toppings to try and get her to eat (nutritional yeast, baby food, cracker crumbs, plain natural Greek yogurt etc) but it all comes down to whether she’s feeling up to wet food.
She’s still steadily eating the dry food though so at least she’s eating.
Yeah the B12… I’ve awkwardly given one shot under vet supervision but it’s hard with my hands

one thing to remember with cats is they’re all about the texture. So they may turn their nose up at one food, but when you mash it it’s suddenly the best thing ever. Lil’ weirdoes

Yeah, she loved her pate but unfortunately it’s got chicken in it. I used to mash her food very smooth with hot water and still kind of mash it but she’s decided she doesn’t like the extra liquid
She keeps me on my toes!

Has she tried the renal pates? Not the chicken one obvs, but Hills do a tuna one
