Melbcat is sometimes refusing to eat her wet food which means I have to crush/mix her meds into a syringe, get her in a very gentle headlock and feed it to her directly… not ideal for either of us.

She’s also vitamin B deficient from an absorption difficulty so

injectionsneeds monthly shots at the vet… she should be having them weekly but I’m scared to accidentally hurt her when doing them at home.

 

I know cats go nuts for brewers yeast and Marmite has B12 (I think Vegemite doesn’t) but it’s salty which is bad for her kidneys. So I bought some nutritional yeast and sprinkled a pinch. Yes, she likes it. She ate some of her meal.

She still needs to be wrangled to give the antibiotics directly, same for the anti nausea stuff which she absolutely needs right now. But I’ll remember this for when we can go back to only the normal meds that can just mix into the food.

Have you ever considered a different vet?

[-] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

These ones are pretty good and the closest. Why?

[-] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago

i can't help thinking how the vets here in carlton were just stringing me and Allie along with treatments.

It’s ok, we’re not being strung along. She’s had some inflammatory issues with her bowel which caused absorption issues, so she’s not absorbing as much as she needs
