Max update...

Earlier today- Home with the Medical Mystery, aka Max. He now has 2 pills to take, twice a day for the next 10 days. AND I have a syringe to feed his stubborn butt with if he decides not to eat.

Max is hanging out in the kennel. Came out for water, ate a freeze dried shrimp & went right back in. Alrighty then, at least he ate something.

Stubborn butt wouldn't eat. So I smashed the pills and mixed them into some wet food and filled the syringe.

Attempting to force feed him-

Well, that didn't go as well as I'd hoped. Force feeding Max- about half the food went in him. Heh. But I got food in him, so that's what counts. much was on ME, the FLOOR, and the towel he was wrapped in.}:/ I think maybe half the meds got into him. I also have a scratch across the back of my right hand now. Hrm.

A few hours later, and a few minutes ago...

Max is chowing on the wet food I just mashed up for him. I guess the threat of being force fed again did wonders. This is good as I wasn't relishing the idea of getting clawed again.

Note to self- Wellness Healthy Indulgences in Chicken and Chicken Liver flavor seems to be his fav for now. Good thing I have several packets of that particular flavor.

The yellow tinge has diminished more as well. This is also good. He hasn't gone p to use the litter box yet. Before I head to bed, I'll take his butt up to see if he'll use it myself. Then put him right back in the kennel as that seems to be his current favorite hidey hole for the night. With more wet food, of course.
