RE: The Bundle Of Beans Diaries - Day 17 - The Last Day Of Medication
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 :)
Good job on the fostering!! Those kittens are gonna be in a loving environment which helps a lot with their recovery.
It’s the same reason I hate swallowing tablets or capsules as well. Aside from the awful taste, there will always a feeling that the tablet’s stuck in my throat so I always end up drinking a lot of water which is very annoying. I can’t imagine it for cats who usually don’t even drink water after :/
We just had followup checkup but they didn’t test anything again, just had some questions and looked at him physically. Maybe it wasn’t necessary on him? Dunno but now he’s all healthy and naughty🤣
Yeah I forgot to say it actually kinda looks like Mew! What a coincidence haha being called Mew as well🤣
