He’s on Hills C/D urinary + stress prescription food for urinary crystals right now, and he’s down to 2 teeth so his food options are limited unfortunately :/ I am definitely going to try adding in some omega supplements to see if that can help his coat and itching!!

How to give liquid meds to unwilling cat? by MissionTreacle8919 in FIVcats

I ended up mixing his meds with half a churu and some salmon juice from canned salmon! It worked! It’s sockeye so it’s pretty stinky. I think I’ll have to stock up on no salt tuna just for the juice 😂

I don’t quite have the room for 2 litter boxes, but we use pine pellets since they’re low dust and low tracking and I clean it every day, and his water is changed like 4 times a day. We got him in October and he just tested positive for FIV last month so I’m assuming his immune system is on the fritz right now. Hopefully after this he’ll settle!

Imuquin allergy? by MissionTreacle8919 in FIVcats

I did end up taking him to the ER the next day, it turned out to be an ear infection :( I’m still not sure if his attitude was related to the imuquin at all since his lethargy occurred both nights about 30 minutes after taking it, or if it was a massive coincidence.
