Bobcat's Kidney Diary: Day 12
365 days ago | 1980 Views | (0) Comments
Bob has been pretty tolerant about getting his antibiotic via dropper, although I learned not to refrigerate the medicine — cold liquid makes him jump and squirm.
His potassium supplement, though, is a different matter. It must taste awful, because he won't touch it in any form, even when mixed with his old canned food or with real canned tuna (normally his favorite treat). I wasn't able to give it to him by syringe either, because the supplement is a globby gel that won't slide down the throat like the liquid medicine, giving Bob the opportunity to spit it out. I'm going to try blending it with tuna liquid and giving it by syringe.
Good news: if my scale is correct, Bob has gained weight! Today he weighed 9.6 pounds.
