Dragan has had the 2 week antibiotic injection a couple of times and it has worked well for him

Am glad to hear the vet has sorted her out - have to say I am dubious with this new injection, but as long as it works for her.
RC renal food can be used to help with calcium oxylate stones, so at least it might give you some variety - comes in chicken and beef flavours.

Tried Dairylea with the tab in it (because Lexy usually just gulps Dairylea down)... little licked daintily around the tab and hey presto there it is on the plate.

Tried it in the food like this morning (she ate that), but she won't go near her food now.

Tried it crunched up in the Dairylea, in the food etc... and nothing.. she wopped my hand away and now she won't come near me.

Did you try wiping it down her leg, even funny tasting stuff cant be ignored when its stuck in your hair!

I think the Convenia is debatable when it comes to lasting 2 weeks

Well, Caroline is gone and Lexy is fabby!

So, now we just wait for the analysis of the stones. The urinalisis was interesting. All the levels were fine, and they found NO crystals so they aren't sturovite stones... some other kind.

Thats good to hear! - were the stones oxalate?

Yep thats the ones. Analysis will take another couple weeks I believe, so until then we'll just go day by day new food and all.

yep, me too I'm afraid. Paddy will not be "administered" to. Won't touch defurrums, or Dairylea or wafer thin ham. More tablets end up behind items of furniture than they do in his tum. Er - whoa .....

hey - yoo is notta talks 'bout me and tells me secrets to der world.....

Anyways, Lexy, I is sooo glad you is feelin' gooder an d' Caroline laydee is pleezed wif yoo. Dunt let me meowmy's 'barrasin tales 'bout me put yoo off. I is finkin, we's gonna be spiffin on our bicyclies....

Well, Caroline is gone and Lexy is fabby!

An anti-biotic injection (a new type lasts 2 weeks) and treats mild infections well was administered. No sedation necessary, Lexy was a little dream...even if she did need scruffing (the indignity!) and clawing my hand after.

The wound looks good, I just need to keep an eye ou it but its a tiny cut (about an inch and a bit long) and it looks nice and tidy. A little bruising but I woulnd't have known if Caroline hadn't pointed it out.

So, now we just wait for the analysis of the stones. The urinalisis was interesting. All the levels were fine, and they found NO crystals so they aren't sturovite stones... some other kind. I can't spell all this and I don't really get it but all I know is my baby is happy now.

She's had something to eat and we are chilling out.

whoooppp!!! Paddy.. is I. Lexy.. I's good my love. All good

Now we can goes on our bicyclies.

Best of luck at the vet

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #215 on:** December 01, 2007, 11:45:41 AM »

I suspect her antibiotics are only a precaution now and a long lasting jab should take her through the week end maybe till Tuesday......hope all goes well with the visit of the dreaded vet

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #214 on:** December 01, 2007, 11:43:39 AM »

nope. Lexy only likes what Lexy likes. I've tried tricking her, I've tried forcing her to eat it.. nothing.

This morning I feel guilty. I had to go out to sort out the insurance claim with the clinic and pick up more food. Got a box of chicken flavour food and the dry as well to see if she'll have that as a compliment to the rest.

Will order more from VetUk. Caroline is due any minute so I am going to ask her to give her the injection. I can't do this every day, my heart just breaks. Today I have had to withhold food as per Caroline so now I feel extra guilty as now I'm home I feel so guilty, she's so hungry.

Tried to give her a blob of dairylea and she wasn' interested.

Bah! What happened to having a cat that would want to eat anything?!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #213 on:** December 01, 2007, 10:53:13 AM »

Does she like Pilchards in tomato sauce cos its really strong smelling

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #212 on:** December 01, 2007, 08:22:24 AM »

Lexy hates Katalax. She's sneaky. I always get the impression she loves something because she does it once. After that its like she's cottoned on and I'm not getting near her.

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #211 on:** December 01, 2007, 06:10:29 AM »

I have crushed pills and mixed them with a small amount of Katalax and rubbed it on Dragan's paws. Not failed so far

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #210 on:** November 30, 2007, 23:44:21 PM »

Cats can be very clever where tablets are concerned

I really hope that you manage to find something to hide the tablets in that Lexy will eat

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #209 on:** November 30, 2007, 22:39:40 PM »

Oh yes I know about this too, Kocka could not be given tabs at all and eye drops, om my what a bloomin mess, more on me than in her!

Ducha, another who even the vet cannot get them to go in and stay in!!

As for Sasa well Lexy you can at least get close too

Kocka used to have what was then a long lasting antibiotic injection , lasted over a weekend and then we would have to back for another or two!!

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #208 on:** November 30, 2007, 22:05:55 PM »

I know the feeling well Ruth!!

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #207 on:** November 30, 2007, 20:31:43 PM »

Nope. None of it works. And she knows something is up because the little moo is hiding each time I get up.

Tried Dairylea with the tab in it (because Lexy usually just gulps Dairylea down)... little

licked daintily around the tab and hey presto there it is on the plate.

Tried it in the food like this morning (she ate that), but she won't go near her food now.

Tried it crunched up in the Dairylea, in the food etc... and nothing.. she wopped my hand away and now she won't come near me.

I've wasted 4! tablets tonight.. I have one more here with me and if I catch her unawares when she's sleeping its going down the hatch...element of surprise.

If anyone had a camera following me it would make for very funny watching... ever seen a grown woman walking around behind her cat for hours on end knowing full well she's being given the run around!

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #206 on:** November 30, 2007, 17:43:31 PM »

The Primula trick works for me and Blip licks it off the spoon now (although I started off putting it on her leg until she realised that she liked the taste)

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #205 on:** November 30, 2007, 17:02:37 PM »

Or try it wrapped in wafer thin ham, thats working for Gwynnie at the moment, now she's rejecting the pill in the de-furrum treats

Millys Mum · « **Reply #204 on:** November 30, 2007, 16:53:07 PM »

Does Lexy regroom when you disturb her finely groomed coat? Crush the tab into sticky cheese and smear on her leg, not too much or flick and its gone

Glad she is feeling better

puddypaws · « **Reply #203 on:** November 30, 2007, 14:30:11 PM »

and lots of cuddles for Lexy- get well soon young one and TAKE YOUR TABLETS

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #202 on:** November 30, 2007, 11:56:31 AM »

She;s not taking her antibiotics so I had to trick her by putting the tablet into a bit of the wet food but I bet it won't be eaten when I get home. I was running late as it was and she just would not let me get the tab into her and she yelped

so I think I hurt her in trying to get her still...

Caroline is in tomorrow and I'm going to ask for the injection... I can't stress her.. even for a few mins it just breaks my heart but I do not want her to get an infection. So will be rushing home to ram the damn pill down her throat even if it breaks my heart.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #201 on:** November 30, 2007, 10:51:01 AM »

Glad you're feeling an improvement, Lexy.

Ruth, typical! You spend money on a perfectly good radiator bed and it's still not quite right!

Oh I was pondering about that hammock for Ollie, just saw it on a mail order catalogue... (not that he would really need it... our flat is excessively warm!)

Cats are so good at teaching us slaves a lesson aren't they....

Glad to see her well and comfy!!

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #193 on:** November 28, 2007, 19:06:45 PM »

Well insurance won't cover food but that's ok..

This is the new resting place for Lexy...and ignores me while I talk to her ("to" being the correct term).

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #192 on:** November 28, 2007, 08:24:07 AM »

I have advanced cover with Direct Line so will see if I can do this. It will help with the bills as its just that little bit more expensive than the food she eats now.

Oh well.
