We decided not to test since the remedy is management which we're already working on. She has in the past: abnormal in Dec & March & part of the original diagnosis.
I'm not sure if it's Minnie that's hard to pill or me that's not very good at it! I think I may recently have posted this, but the soluble ondansetron worked for us because even if I couldn't get it far down her throat I could hold her mouth shut long enough for it to dissolve (poor girl). I did not try Cerenia injections but we had to give an antibiotic which stings so much they made us dilute it in saline. That was so stressful for all concerned, I needed to rope in someone to help hold her down and I bought this bag-thing on amazon which she got zipped into so I could give the shot (burrito didn't work). So....I am not in favor of any shots that sting! The best pilling position for her is on the couch next to me and the arm of the couch (so she can't back away). Tip her head back and try to get that point on her jaw where it opens. I got the soluble capsules to put cerenia in, since that makes her drool terribly for ages - though last week I completely forgot about the capsules, there was drool sprayed everywhere...
Exactly my thought about shots that sting. It's not a great thing to use stinging shots on a diabetic cat that you have to shoot every day - twice a day. I do also use the Ondansetron Orally Dissolving Tablets.
I used Freeze Dried Pumpkin from Amazon ... some cats don't like it either. Some cats just won't eat anything added to their food. :-(I may, but want to limit the variables at the moment. Not sure if she'll eat it, if not, I'll make muffins
and pooping! They give us grey hairs.
