Subject: Update on Molly Ann such a stubborn cat she is(msg)

I talk to her two nights in a row and try to get her to understand that I want her to get well and that I was worry about her and I start crying but she not coporting (sp) so we gave up on trying to catch her to give her both of her 1/2 antibiotic, and appite pills. My mom said that yesterday she did eat some and got one pill down it was a good one to get down but I wish that she had gotten to the antibiotic pill and got it down also but didn't. Then my mom scare me last night when I got home but it wasn't nothing bad. I was thinking she passed away that wasn't the case which I was relieved. Today I'm in a sad mood thinking of her. We have gave up on trying to catch her and pill her. I know that isn't good. I still haven't called the vet about that Pill pocket I know if I do I know my mom won't let me go get it to try. I saw her this morning and she got off the couch and got under the couch and hide I think she was thinking I was going to try to catch her. Only thing I said was good morning to her. I'm not happy.

Christine, Molly Ann must take her medication if you want her to get better. It's not always easy to catch our cats to give them their pills but you have to do it. If you can lure her into your room with the promise of playing with her (using a kitty wand with the tassle or something like that) and then you can quickly close the door. We've had to trap more than one cat to give medication. They don't understand but they will forgive you. But you might have to double team Molly Ann. Have your mother or your sister help you. But you can't just NOT give Molly Ann her pills simply because she doesn't want to be caught. (NT) -- Sandy, 12:06:58 pm, Fri, 03/28/08
Thanks U2. We only gave up on Wed. that was the only day. Yesterday she got one down when she ate her food but not the other one. I'm still trying to catch her since I been home from volunteering to give the pills to her. I want her well so bad and back to eating. Good news on that part she has been eating some. So maybe that means she is getting back to normal. Hopfully. She doesn't play and it my fault because of that. (nm) -- Christine (Molly Ann mom), 6:59:41 pm, Fri, 03/28/08
You have to do what you can to pill her Christine....Please try harder and tell your Mom how important these pills are to Molly Ann...ok? (NT) -- Kate, 6:01:14 pm, Fri, 03/28/08
It will be easier if you are calm and act like it's no big deal to give her her pill. (msg) -- Judi, 10:41:03 pm, Fri, 03/28/08
Believe it or not, it's easier without the towel, too. I wish I were there to help you with this. (NT) -- Judi, 10:44:02 pm, Fri, 03/28/08
Boy Judi, you are exactly right.....I've definitely found with Maggie that I have to be calm...if I'm not and getting frusterated, she knows/feels my anxiety too and it just makes everything all that worse....I'm not having any real problems with the pilling, probably because I'm using the pill-pockets, but when it's time to go to the vet I know she can feel my anxiety about taking her and then she reacts accordingly!!
you mentioned pilling your Maggie, is everything ok? I hope it's nothing serious? (NT) -- Kate, 6:59:05 am, Sat, 03/29/08
We're trying to get her allergies, whatever they are, under control. It's a chronic thing - she's licked all the fur off her abdomen and inner legs. Sad to say, I didn't even notice that until she turned up with allergies on and around her ears. I took her in for that, and the vet holds her up and says, how long has this been going on?, pointing to her tummy. Oops. At first she had to take an antibiotic along with the allergy med, and a topical antibiotic to wipe on her ears. The ears are good now, knock on wood. (more) -- Judi, 11:05:00 pm, Sat, 03/29/08
Boy, you have had your hands full haven't you? I sure hope the meds help your Maggie....don't feel bad that you didn't notice her belly....you said she isn't a cuddly kitty....that makes it harder sometimes to see what is going on....I'm glad Spike is doing better...how old are the two of them now? (NT) -- Kate, 5:37:43 am, Sun, 03/30/08
Spike is 14, and Maggie is 11. (NT) -- Judi, 11:27:35 pm, Sun, 03/30/08
That doesn't seem possible Judi.... (NT) -- Kate, 8:07:03 pm, Mon, 03/31/08
No, it sure doesn't. They were both little kittens when we got them. (NT) -- Judi, 10:20:02 pm, Tue, 04/01/08
