Giardia

The pilling is going terrible.

It's time to go to sleep and i'm only beeing able to pill half the cats.

It doesn't work putting them in threats, and i don't manage it doing it the hardway.

I don't see how this is going to work if i need to do it 10days

Panacur in a pill form? I've not seen that!

What you need is Panacur (fenbendazole) in the powder, it's tasteless and can be mixed into their food and they won't notice it.

I just crushed it and put it in food.

Didn't work and now i'm 2 pills short.

I need to do the last day tomorrow so the vet will be closed because of the weekend.

Great.. this means i need to start all over again later...

2 cats i gave it in 2 pieces.
It are big pills.

For the other two cats i crushed it to powder and did it in their food.
it worked yesterday but now both refuses.

I only have 4 pills left for tomorow and 2cats didn't eat it.

Themba (savannah) who has the diarria is the most easy one.

Right now i'm locked them up with the food but they have no interest for it.

I also never locked them up before, feels pretty bad about it.

I have no idea if the pill is equivalent in taste to the powder, I've never seen a pill form of panacur.

Sometimes when they get the hint you've done anything to their meals, that suspicion means they won't touch it... it's unfortunate. Sometimes putting in a food that they regard as a treat (chicken baby food for example) can sometimes sway them...

i gave their favorite...
Bollie doesn't like wet meat at all only this one he likes a bit.
Bliss normally eats it good.

Is it wise to lock them up with their food untill they get hungry ?

 

[Niels]

Can i put it in milk ?

I better start trying things with the remaining 4 pills.
And call the vet tomorow.
Maybe i can get some.

Why don't vets just give an extra few pills...
they cost almost nothing and i guess i'm not the only one who has these problems.

Yes, you might need to get extra pills to try that...in my experience you'd do better feeding smaller portions so that they are hungry enough to eat whatever you put in front of them. If you free-feed kibble take it away for now!

I wouldn't keep offering stale food though... most cats just won't eat it.

 

[Niels]

Yes i put away the kibble.

I tried again with whipcream, he goes crazy for that.

No success again.

3 pills left.
