Update on Amanda not eating

Took Amanda to the vet today, and it looks like an infected tooth is the cause of her malaise and URI symptoms. I got some pain meds and antibiotic for her which will be real "fun" to give to her! We did bloodwork, so we will see how that turns out as well.

Thanks to all for the suggestions and advice. :)

1. When my dogs don't want to take their meds

I stick it in a tab of butter...no problem then...(and won't hurt the tooth)

2. My cats don't pill well, so I have a druggist convert it to a liquid

and feed them by dropper. it's much easier.

Hope Amanda feels better soon!

3. I bought canned cat food with "gravy"

and mixed the liquid meds into that.
He slurped it right down and saved us both a lot of misery.
