When we last left you, Ed, the cat, had been diagnosed with toxoplasmosis. Our incredible vet prescribed a four week course of antibiotics for the cat, one mililiter in the morning on his food, and again at dinner time. She sent us to a local pharmacy who compounded the antibiotic with a “three-fish” flavor.
\nI thought we were good to go!<\/p>\n
\nUnfortunately, Ed, the little bugger, decided that any food that had the antibiotic on it was not going to touch HIS mouth!
\nWe tried forcing the issue, taking away his dry food, and not offering anything else to get him hungry enough to try it. He upped the anti by going out and catching birds for snacks.
\nSo, I left a message for our incredible vet today, and when she called back, I told her what was going on. Once again, she is going to save my cat. This woman is so amazing. I wish she was MY doctor!
\nShe is going to prescribe an antibiotic that is smeared inside the cat’s ears, rather like smearing them with peanut butter. I can not tell you how glad I am that he’s going to get another chance to get well!
\nTomorrow we get the new antibiotic. You can bet I’ll have another story to tell you in the continuing saga, next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
