Can yous believe it is another Mancat Monday alreadys?
Mes has a couple of updates to share with yous today.
First, the Mom talked with Dr. Stabby last week because Lita was hiding most of the day and night because hers was so nervous about being pilled. Dr. Stabby's assistant told the Mom that they would call in some Paxil for Lita....whatever that is.
The Mom has been crushing it up and putting it in Lita's wet noms. Dr. Stabby's assistant says that Paxil doesn't taste all yucky like the Amitriptyline hers was taking. Until yesterday, Lita was eating it in hers noms with no problem. But last night, Lita did not want to eat hers noms! The Mom is just hoping hers was having an off day and hopes Lita did not figure out hers is getting a pill in hers noms. The Mom says hers will have to look into compounding Milita's medication into an ear gel if hers has figured it out. Lita gets all anxious about getting pills or squirts in the mouth, and the Mom does not want her to hide all the time. The Mom says that would not be a nice life for my sisfur, and mes agrees.
Lita is still hiding a lot, but the Mom knows it will take her a few more days at least for hers to trust that the humans are not going to try to get pills down hers again. Lita does sleep with the Mom though when hers sleeps. Me guesses hers knows the Mom's bed is a safe place to be.
Second, the Mom has been stressed lately by a few things. So mes has been jumping in the Mom's lap more and curling up and purring in it to make hers feel better. Hers says I am a very good and sweet mancat!
Being the mancat of the house sure is a lot of responsibility! Mes thinks mes is going to go has a little nap nows.
We're sorry to hear that Lita is hiding. We hope the new medicine helps her. And you're the best medicine for your mom, Carmine. :)
ReplyDeleteWe hope Lita is just having an off day or two and will start taking the medication again soon.
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Our Giulietta is on Amitriptyline and our Mom uses this bacon-flavored pill past to give it to her. Don't know if that would work for Lita. We will keep her in our purrs and prayers. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
ReplyDeleteWe hope that Lita comes out soon. Good for you Carmine taking care of the Mom. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteCarmine, you are a sweetheart and handsome too. I hope Lita decides to eat.
ReplyDeleteI sure do hope that Lita starts takin' her meds. I'm the very opposite. Easy to pill but hate havin' stuff in my food.
ReplyDeletePurrs,
Nissy
sorry to hear this about Lita,xx Speedy
ReplyDeleteSorry, to hear about Lita. I'm assuming you've tried all the natural options, homeopathy, Feliway etc.?
ReplyDeleteI am glad you're helping your human with her stress, Carmine! I am purring lots that Lita gets back to eating her food with the medication in it - it's so important for her!
ReplyDeleteLots of purrs to Lita and your mom, and to you too. Each cat is unique and reacts differently to be treated, and when they hide/avoid it can be so difficult. Hugs and kitty kisses to you all.
ReplyDeleteI do my best to hide at medicine time but the peeps sure do mix it up a lot to keep me from figuring it out. Good job helping the Mom destress!!!
ReplyDeleteWe bet your mom is happy to have you helping her with her stress ; we send purrs to Lita, and hope she feels better soon. Purrs

Carmine - thank you for taking such good care of your mom. I'm hoping that compounding Lita's meds into an ear gel does the trick - or else that Lita eats her noms again. take care.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're a wonderful mancat and a wonderful comfort to your mom and sister! Continued purrs for Lita {{{hugs}}}
ReplyDeleteWe hope everything works out okay. Pills can be scary but if they help you must take them. Just close your eyes and pretend it's a mousie!

You're such a good mancat, comforting your human like that! We hope Lita feels better. Pills are no fun.
ReplyDeleteYou are an excellent mancat, we need to take care of the humans!
ReplyDeleteCarmine, thanks so furry much for the update... sounds like your a doing a furry good job of loving your Mom. Good to know that Lita trusts your Mom at least when she is sleeping... Purring that Lita won't need always needs pills crushed up in her foods... -Katie Kat.
ReplyDeleteYou takes your duties very seriously, that's a good kitty.
ReplyDeleteWe know all about those pills. Yuck. Dad puts Rumpy's inside of treats he crushes up and we have how he does it on our bloggie. The link is in the top at the Right called "Dads Pill Magic" Here is the direct way to get there. http://timmytomcat.blogspot.com/p/dads-pill.html
ReplyDeleteRumpy runs up and wants his pills that he has to take just about every day for his Asthma. He is learning to use an inhaler but that is going slow. I bet I would learn in a few days. Yep
Good job purring for Mom Carmine. That is the best medicine in the world and we do that for Dad.

We hope that new medicine is easier to take.
ReplyDeleteYou are a good brofur kitty, and a great mancat!
