Hi all! Its been awhile!

I have a question thats non diabetic related

Recently, Ive been trapping the ferals in my neighborhood and doing TNRs with them. Today I caught a large male, whom I've deemed Mr Smokey. He is pretty sweet (not feral) and is going to make a lovely pet some day. HOWEVERRR, he has a gnarly bite wound that needs to heal first.

He got treated today and is on his way to healing (thank god.... because he literally smelt like rot). The clinic gave me liquid Clindamycin to help treat. I mixed his dose (which is rather large) with some Churu and added some Friskies Lil Gravies for good measure... I don't think will work

Does anyone have any good tips for administoring this? If not, I'll see if pills would be an option. He is a good boy, but with the neck wound with stitches, I dont want to be too forceful.

I'd attach a photo if his sweetface.... but the Upload function doesn't work for me :banghead:
 
Hi Cassie, long time no see! For Upload, just do a copy and paste into the text box, or drag and drop from your desktop. Upload is currently not working.

Clindamycin is pretty bitter, but does come in pills if that can is easier for you. Don't forget some probiotics, Clindamycinm is pretty hard on the tummy flora. Neko was on liquid Clindamycin after a dental and I just had to squirt it in her and give her a treat chaser. She was really hard to pill, until I built up my skills. So maybe some Churu in a syringe, followed by a syringe of Clindamycin and another of Churu?

He surprisingly licked it up mostly. They have him on 3ml, which is a lot. But I will keep the method of alternating the churu and meds.

I completely forgot for probiotics! I have some fortiflora I will sprinkle and will see if i can more when I got for his follow up.

Let's see if this works for his photo (ive covered his wound)

Fortiflora's not the best probiotic, it only has a single strain. A human one like Renew Life with many strains of probiotics and lots of flora is better.
