i am still continuing to ram pills down the cat's throat. i dont see any marked improvement in her health. she's still drooling and looking down. i still have another week worth of pills to give her. all it's really done is made her angry with me. i can see a glimmer of her old attitude surfacing...the attitude (or should i say CATtitude?), the haughty behaviour, and the indifference to my presence. i have a feeling that it's all coming from the feeling of resentment of me struggling with her to give her these pills. i've been scratched and bitten, drooled over, and given the cold shoulder. all in the name of love, i guess.
saturday afternoon i found a tapeworm in the house. GREAT. the dog was on the couch and i saw it wriggling there....so it came from her. jesus christ, when it rains it pours. today i phoned the vet and got 2 treatments for the dogs. thankfully i didnt have to bring them in, which would have been a $50 office visit in addition to the $34 and change for the medication. they had a playdate on saturday and i expressed concern over him getting their worms and the vet tech said i didnt have to worry about him contracting worms...if he did, i'd have to pay for that too.
fortunately pills are much easier to administer to dogs than cats. it's easy: make a peanut butter sandwich, insert the pills, and the dogs are none the wiser. great technique.
i just wish it was that easy with cats.
