Chessie

Went to the vet clinic yesterday and got another bottle of liquid Cefadroxil antibiotics for Chessie. We're getting to be good friends with Dr. Kipps. I told her if her secretary/nurse ever called in sick I could cover for her since it seemed like I was there all the time anyway. This morning we crushed the Marin pill and made a slurry with it and some cat food. Paul cut off the end of the plastic eyedropper so we could give Chessie that pill as a liquid. It sort of worked but took about 3 applications before we could get it all. Dr. Kipps didn't think just plain water would mask the taste of the pill enough to make it palatable. Tomorrow we're going to try putting the crushed pill in milk or cream so we can maybe get it all in one application of the eyedropper.
