I’ve decided to go another course of antibiotics while we sort the cat specialist, so I get to wrestle Melbcat and feed her gross banana flavoured liquid for another 10 days! 🍌 Some keeps ending up on her fur so I think I will be buying a bib.
The specialist I saw seemed ok, not sure if he’ll be able to help but was at least respectful and willing to listen.
The lightly scented home brand soap I bought is a bit drying on my hands but otherwise hasn’t caused immediate issues? That’s not to say it won’t. But if it works out I have a backup soap for any supply shortages of the unscented bars.
If it doesn’t I guess it gets donated to the food pantry minus that bar or turned into laundry soap.
Ugh, poor Melbcat! I think banana flavoured liquid deserves a special place in hell 😝 I've turned hand/face soap into laundry soap with positive results. I bought some Dove soap a while back but wasn't happy with it (ain't what it used to be) but found it to be excellent for my towels. Made them softer than my face lol.
Yeah the Dove is good on my hair, too mild on my body and drying on my face.
Whoever thought banana flavoured antibiotics are appropriate for a cat is nuts! Surely it should be sardine flavoured or milk flavoured or something cats like.
I don’t know the logic… there are fish and chicken flavours but perhaps some animals like banana??
Edit: apparently a lot of animal meds were made for humans and given in different doses
so many hugs for you both
