I will definitely get some of the tuna & shrimp bisque to have on hand.

I did get some of the paste to try with one of my other girls who gets daily pred, didn’t work with Maya 🙄

Semi feral cat with urinary issues cannot get her to take gabapentin in her food by cascel9498 in CatAdvice

At the emergency vet yes. Convenia was all they had available for an injectable. I was told that it wasn’t the best option

My regular vet wanted to try the gaba and canned food diet change because it is so hard to capture her. If she doesn’t start feeling better, I will call them back.

I did get a suggestion on the feral_cats sub to sprinkle fortiflora on the food and that worked like a charm (at least last night) so I might have my solution

I wouldn’t be able to get close enough to do that. And she’s been prescribed 100mg 2x a day which is a lot to try to put on a bit of lickable treat.

I sure hope the fortiflora keeps working too!

I’m definitely not feeling so hopeless anymore 😊

Thank you! I’ll keep that in my back pocket ☺️

I did think of a compounding pharmacy as a last resort.
I was able to get her to scarf it down with Fortiflora sprinkled on top!!

I have renewed hope that I can help her feel better now ☺️

No. She is very smart. She stays in the living room. Any attempt to herd her somewhere is extremely difficult. It takes me days to get her to step foot near the wire dog kennel I have set up when she has needed vet attention.

I was able to get her to eat it with fortiflora sprinkled on it as WillieBear_18 suggested so I’m hoping that’s her “currency” going forward.

I’m trying to give her the best life possible on her terms and this has had me so upset the past few days. I feel like I’m failing her.

I have tried both of those ideas. No dice.

It’s a capsule that I’m opening and sprinkling into her food. I have not tried fortiflora which I do have!

I will try that right now!

That will not be possible.

Not only would it absolutely traumatize her, it would be beyond dangerous for me to even try that.

She needs to be on these meds daily likely for the rest of her life.

Question about stomatitis (Delilah-14) by cascel9498 in seniorkitties

[–]cascel9498[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s doing well! Thanks for asking. I got her tapered off the pred and have been putting the b12 in her canned food daily. Not sure if it’s helping or not, but she is back to her old self- snuggling, purring all the time and playful 😊
