RE: The Bundle Of Beans Diaries - Day 17 - The Last Day Of Medication
Huh I quite find it easier if it’s liquid form, squirt it with the syringe and they’re good to go🤣 but yeah I guess I haven’t tried getting more ml of liquid that you have to squirt it little by little cos they can already fight it if it’s the second time lol.
Geez I hate those tabs that are too big tho. Mew was 4 months old when we took him to the vet for parvo, coronavirus, and giardia (he survived luckily :D) and they had prescribed him a tablet that’s so big even I can’t imagine myself taking it whole haha. I had to divide it into 8 pieces, that means giving it to him 8x with his tiny throat 😓

The thing is the syringes we have aren't too great. One is too small to give the full dose and the other is better but really hard not to push everything out at once and when that happens, it's a huge shock and a lot gets wasted.
We're now on our second round of fostering (I yet have to finish this chapter today though in the blogs) and I can spoil already that the two we have now also have Giardia, the other 5 did too. They were found in the garbage and I was told that chances are big they end up having it.
This time I had a choice as the vet asked me do I want liquid or tablets and I said please give me a tablet. I saw how they gave the tablet to the kittens for deworming and figured it would be less hassle and less stressful. But as you mentioned, tablets are so big that I need to cut them in 4. Thankfully the first half is easy with the line on the tablet but even dividing the half tablets in 2 is a pain, I mean I don't like to swallow tablets that taste like powder either it makes it extra gross. Now I ended up with 1 kitten who has tablets as I had a choice, and the other with the liquid (best of both worlds, Nahum haha)
Did Mew get rid of the Giardia right away? I remember your post about it but back then I wasn't fostering yet so the info didn't stick about Giardia. This nest we had first needed two weeks of meds, all liquid, horrible :) But it's easier to manage with 1/2 kittens I guess as they don't make such a mess as 5.
I really love Mew's looks! The one we have now makes the "mew" sound so the one taking care of her before we took her said she called her "mew" It reminded me of your cat :)
