This concoction arrived out of Texas and is made up personally by an excellent cat vet. My cats see it coming and they tremble in their paws! This gruel is so thick, I believe I could caulk the shower with it and it is so bitter. I know I tasted a bit of it. It kills everything (but the cat) or so I am told and I hope it turns the tide for the three remainding kitties whose diarrhea is still flowing.
Watching their reactions to this stuff prompted me to write the following:
“Oh no everybody-
Quick! All of you hide-
Here comes Mom
With pill pusher by her side!
She doesn’t think we’re smart enough
Can’t see with these eyes,
She’s trying to hide that plastic tube
Tucked close to her side.
This mixture is nasty
It makes mouths foam
Where can we hide out?
Why won’t she leave us alone?
Don’t be silly- the shower
Is the first place she’ll look.
She’ll see our pink noses,
Our goose will be cooked!
Can’t hide in the rafters,
Because she’s so tall.
And Kojak is trembling
So surely she’ll fall.
Under the bed with the dust bunnies.
We could all fit with ease.
Then we could scatter
When she bent down to sneeze.
We could all run upstairs
Remember she hates heights.
It would be better than staying
For stuff that kills parasites.
What is that wise Cagney?
What are you yowling about?
You say we don’t swallow
We just spit it out?
Oh what a smart plan
Ok everyone stay-
Just remember to spit
When she turns away!”
Interesting. Any idea what is in that gunk? Are you supposed to fill the kittie up with FortiFlora or something similar after using it?
We hope the insertions went well, and everyone will be feeling better in a few days.
I was looking on line for that hills food, I went to the hills website and they have a shelter partners program. this is the site: http://www.hillspet.com/food-shelter-love/shelter-resources.html
I thought it worth a shot to send you the information
Thank you for the information. It looks like the cats don’t want to eat the canned food though. If I mix it with a little of regular canned food it intensifies the problem. We will beat this though!
I feel badly for the poor cats. I wish we could explain to them that this horrible tasting medicine is for their own good. Right now, my foster-cat, Bear-Bear, is receiving shots from three syringes of medicine, twice a day. I hate giving it to him, but it must be done.
I know, but just think if we could communicate that well on their level, how easy our jobs would be! They are day 5 of treatment and all cats but one have stopped having the runs! Kojak is still having accidents and my Bissell is working overtime at the moment because her favorite spot is behind my chair. The mixture is panacur, albon, flagyl and an antibiotic.
