Abelard is still struggling to get well

My point is that a leash law does not eliminate the problem of dogs running loose. It helps but certainly does not guarantee anything. A cat tied outside is particularly vulnerable to attack. MaryL |

Abelard is still struggling to get well
Glad to hear that Abelard is on the mend. Purrs and good health wishes for him to continue to improve. As a suggestion, you might try putting the capsule contents inside of a pill pocket. He might actually like that. I tried mixing with water once and my cat foamed everywhere. I guess it tasted awful! Pill pocket worked better.

He has definitely improved and is eating and drinking well, but not gaining back much of the lost weight. We may have to try a different drug in a week or so. He's still impossible to pill so I am mixing he capsule contents with water and giving it via syringe. One change since I started taking him outside, now he wants to be taken out constantly and will slip out the front door given the slightest opportunity. I've fashioned a very long leash from clothesline rope and he will spend the whole afternoon roaming the yard on the end of that line while I work on the fence. |

He might actually like that. He might, if he would let me put anything into his mouth. But one has to be a virtual magician to slip *anything* into Abelard's mouth. Of course the liquid is easy since it will flow in regardless if he opens up or not. He's actually being very good about the liquid now. |
