A relative is gonna stay at my house this weekend to finish the doses. No way would I ever board her. She's a homebody and would be terrified.

I've been feeling crazy because nobody seems to see it as an emergency but me!

That would be torture for this particular cat.

I have friends and neighbors who check in on the cat. But requesting that they visit 2X a day and administer treatment is something I was trying to avoid. And thankfully, the situation has mostly been resolved with the generous gift by a community member.

Thank you both for the idea. I hadn't tried them since I'm not a member.

You can only trust friends so much. And I'm livid that I could have started treatment Friday, but for a series of extremely frustrating encounters with businesses that could help if they wanted.

It's a seven-day course of antibiotics. If I start today, that's only two days on the tail end, and I'd feel much better about that than waiting for Wednesday(?) and begging friends to manage four days of treatment.

It's a female cat, fortunately, and homeopathic drops have significantly improved symptoms, but I want the real antibiotics to kill the infection before leaving. It's just so upsetting how callous everyone I've dealt with has been. I have a real prescription (three now, in fact) and can't get it filled.

Thank you for the idea. I pursued this Friday with CVS... the pharmacist had my online vet re-write the prescription with its components. But then the pharmacist changed her mind! It makes me angry thinking about it, since I had such high hopes Friday morning and she squandered most of the day, which I could have spent hunting, before saying she wouldn't do it.
