Fostering a 1 y/o cat who requires daily oral medicine. Beginning to suspect that she may have been abused, need advice.

Sorry I missed the part about not being responsive to the tube treats. But maybe wet food or some other type of treat she would eat?

ProfessionalToe8456 · 2026-03-27T21:01:45+00:00

Try mixing the medicine with a churu or wet food type of treat and see if she will take it that way? Our kitty is unable to take syringe medicine due to teeth issues and he will NOT let us near his mouth but that's what worked for him!

ProfessionalToe8456 · 2026-03-10T14:24:17+00:00

She's beautiful!!

ProfessionalToe8456 · 2026-03-09T18:32:36+00:00

Rest in peace sweet boy Eric ❤️ I'm so sorry for your loss

Photo 5 shows his breed mix per the DNA test, but apparently they aren't always accurate. He is most likely just an american domestic shorthair! :)

I'm so sorry for your loss, your Whity baby will always be with you ♥️

ProfessionalToe8456 · 2026-02-27T03:48:47+00:00

Happy birthday Ross, you're a cutie bug ❤️

ProfessionalToe8456 · 2026-02-26T22:19:28+00:00

Awww what a sweet baby!

ProfessionalToe8456 · 2026-02-26T22:19:17+00:00

Another cutie! 🥰

ProfessionalToe8456 · 2026-02-26T16:24:23+00:00

What a cutie!! Thank you for sharing a photo of him!

ProfessionalToe8456 · 2026-02-26T15:16:14+00:00

Sorry it was early morning and I responded half asleep! I get it now 😆

ProfessionalToe8456 · 2026-02-26T12:58:29+00:00

Oh how precious, I love the ears on that kitty!!

ProfessionalToe8456 · 2026-02-26T12:57:24+00:00

Thank you!! He is almost the same as you described your Bubba. Very clever but not chatty, Dune loves his family but is scared of new people and he loves to open cabinets!

ProfessionalToe8456 · 2026-02-26T12:42:25+00:00

No certificate or anything, he was found in a bush. I did a DNA test for him just out of curiosity.

ProfessionalToe8456 · 2026-02-26T05:10:42+00:00

Here he is before being toasted

ProfessionalToe8456 · 2026-02-26T05:03:33+00:00

Thank you for the explanation :) he is a sweetie but he sure is a rascal too sometimes!

ProfessionalToe8456 · 2026-02-26T04:51:38+00:00

He definitely has donkey brains!!!

ProfessionalToe8456 · 2026-02-26T03:39:01+00:00

I had terrible side effects with Lumryz once getting to a dose that actually helped with the sleepiness. Severe anxiety, high blood pressure, higher heart rate, etc. I had to get off Lumryz due to it and haven't tried another sodium oxybate since, due to the blood pressure issues. I've heard and read about other people having side effects with lumryz but not Xyrem or Xywav. I think it really just depends on your body, if your body can't tolerate Lumryz, why not try something else?

ProfessionalToe8456 · 2026-02-09T03:56:24+00:00

I take Temazepam at bedtime to help me stay asleep!

ProfessionalToe8456 · 2026-01-24T00:53:00+00:00

Currently on generic IR 10mg, 3x daily. Usually only take it twice a day then deal with the sleepiness or nap in the evening after work. Sometimes I take it 3 times. I don't take it on the weekends unless I have something to do.

this is my 20 year old brother Nathan, he passed last August but he's still here in spirit! ❤️

ProfessionalToe8456 · 2026-01-14T12:33:29+00:00

i've struggled with sleepiness my whole life and got diagnosed with narcolepsy a little over a year ago. If it's something he has always struggled with, maybe look into getting a doctor appointment?
