Pink stuff...nose drops...eye drops... I have been bitten 4 times tonite
Sara has an upper respiratory infection and since she INSISTS on washing every other cat's face, I have Sammy, Marvin and Willlie sneezing and gunky eyes, so The vet (he's a sweetheart) sent home enough meds for all of them..

Sara did get a big hypo, but the others did not seem as droopy as she did, so I am just medicating them..

To give them their meds we have to have:

Large beach towel to "straightjacket" them

a jacket for my husband..(he's the holder)
(he's on blood thinners, so every scratch bleeds and bleeds..hence the jacket)

a washcloth to wash the pick stuff off the walls, table, and chair after they spew it all over the place..

they actually hate the eye & nose drops almost as much.. Cat nostrils are so tiny :eyes:

Today no one sneezed.. It's working :):)

2. Medicating cats is so difficult
I sympathize with you. I had to give all three of mine deworming pills - each cat - two pills. It took me and them a loooong time to get over that!!:hug:
