vria i am almost in teh same boat as you shadow has this really ugly scab thingy between her eyes one part is healed the other looks like it got scatched open again (she doesn't go outside so there is one of 2 ways she got this either from the dog smacking her or her getting in a tiffy with pebbles my 14yr old cat) I been putting a little neosporin on it every couple of days as its a chore to hold shadow (shes got killer claws and hates being picked up or messed with)
Okay, the little ##### is just going to have to die.
Last night's meds went down fine - it's an oral in a dropper thingie. Tonight, however, she clawed the #### out of me to get away. Plus she's meowing incessantly to go outside until I'm ready to rip her voice box out.

Sit on her.
Get on your knees and sort of sit on her and give her the meds that way. Also, there's a shot, Convenia, that is an antibiotic that lasts 14 days. I think it's about $40 but it's well worth it if you have a wild animal.

They gave her the Convenia at the vet office, then there's an oral I give her last night and tonight, skip two days, then give her the last dose.
I'll try sitting on her - thanks! I wouldn't have thought of that!

Or wrap her in a big fluffy bath/beach towel. Like a papoose or straight jacket. Then you can hold her without being scratched. I used to do that with my kitty - and he's a big boy.
The good news is that her boo boo is healing nicely. And she's just going to have to stay in the house like the vet said because I don't want her out there running around getting it all infected.
Her med doesn't even taste bad - tastes sort of like honey.
Sit on her.
Perfect - thank you! 1 second and down the hatch!

I'm glad to hear she's doing better. I can't even think about letting my kitties outside. They've never been outside cats, but I've found we have coyotes in the area and I saw one just a block from my house and I've been told by other people that live here if your cat is missing don't even bother to look for it. That's not a comforting thought, just glad none of my cats have a real desire to go outside. I do have the big screened area in back but the pool freaks them out, so they don't go out there either.

for sure they were coyotes??? OMG! I have some outdoor kitties. They come into the garage at night but go out during the day. I've heard that yes we have coyotes and then I heard no they weren't coyotes but foxes. This is really worrisome.

BayKat moved to Florida a few months ago. Foxes will snatch up a kitty though.

I'll start bringing them in earlier then. They're trained to come in for dinner time. There's only one who's young enough to roam a bit. The other three are old and sleep in their beds most of the day.

I almost hit one on Joy Chapel Road last week and saw one dead on St. Andrews Church Road today. Along with the mangled dead deer.

Great Horned owls love to hunt kitties...one study found 8 cat skulls under owls nest...and there were several collars there too.
Coyotes and owls keep the feral kitten population in check in many areas in the USA.
Food is food, no matter how cute we think it is. :shrug:
That in itself is more than enough reason to keep cats inside all the time.
