I just took another nap, but I think it'll be days befor I get over this. It's only once a year, though, so it's worth it.<br /> I think I'll go to bed at eight tonight or something! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4063/page/2#post-117274 Mon, 18 Feb 2008 14:45:48 +0000 Karenopa 117274@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Poor GD..I'm so glad the tournament is over...You sound so exhausted..Please rest up before you go back to full speed ahead. You really worry me sometimes....Real glad Milo made the grade at the vet. Take care sweetie..we can all wait a little longer for a new Bob &#38; Milo episode. {{{hugs}}} to a special lady.. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4063#post-117265 Mon, 18 Feb 2008 14:06:23 +0000 GreatDane 117265@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi there! Tournament's over! I was going to shoot a movie of Milo and Bob, and now my camera is out of batteries!! I am so completely exhausted, I can't even think of going out to buy some. Maybe tomorrow.<br /> Of course, it turned out, vet was MUCH better at pilling Milo, than I am, so I'm crushing the pill and mixing it in his wet food. Now all I've got to do is make sure Milo and not Bob eats the food!</p> <p>I assembled their new kitty castle last night when I got back from the tennis. I was so tired, it took several tries. But the boys love it! I'll try to get it on film when I can muster up enough energy to go get batteries. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4063#post-115627 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 11:04:02 +0000 feral 115627@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>PM...maybe you could get a short movie of Polly next time. If possible, I'd like to Copy that fine art of yours. They only need a half a tablet of the worm med with their size &#38; weight,but, that half a tablet seems like an entire prescription even done with the eyedropper or syringe. I try to thin it down w/water as much as I can without it being too much &#38; choking them. Spunky has gotten quite good at closing his throat off in back so the meds come squirting back out(the smart little devil). I wish I had the guts to just jam it down them. lol </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4063#post-115620 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 10:51:02 +0000 2 Popoki 115620@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>GD -- wonderful news about Milo's health. And ditto on the wonderful boss! that would never happen in my office... boss if highly allergic to cats. And his wife has one LOL </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4063#post-115608 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 10:32:40 +0000 Pollys_Mum_in_UK_26/05 115608@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>A friend's cat would only take his pills if they were wrapped in parma ham! As he had to have two pills a day for the last two years of his life he got through a whole lot of ham.<br /> For Polly it's no use wrapping anything around pills, you just have to chuck them down her throat and then hold her mouth shut until she is forced to swallow. The vet even gave up with the pill gun, gave me the worming pill and said - try again at home when she's less stressed. (Great, lacerated hands here we come again!) But I've got it down to a fine art now. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4063#post-115607 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 10:31:41 +0000 MeezerMama in OK; 10/23 115607@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Take care of yourself GD. And your boss is very cool.</p> <p>I'll have to have MR film it next time I have to give Ferrule a pill. It's pretty funny. I'm glad I haven't had to do it very often though. Glad he's a healthy guy. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4063#post-115603 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 10:23:19 +0000 GreatDane 115603@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Yep, he does!</p> <p>Unfortunately quite a few of the players, the coaches and the officials at the tournament are sick with a cold. Somehow they all end up in MY car! My throat is a bit tickly again, but I'm hoping it's allergies or that I'll be fine once I sleep for a few days! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4063#post-115583 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 09:47:28 +0000 SylvesterMiasMomma 115583@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I forgot to mention..I echo AnnF's comment...GD, your boss rocks! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4063#post-115582 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 09:46:59 +0000 Elene_YorkPA_7/21 115582@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Giving pills around here is one of my most feared adventures. Pill pockets used to work, but like Milo, they all either ignore them or eat around the pill. It's really bad for the indoor ferals that can't be picked up and force fed. I am going to try KFC's chicken next, I cooked some here but no luck there either. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4063#post-115580 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 09:46:00 +0000 AnnF 115580@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Wonderful!</p> <p>And yes, if he's that clever as a kitten, then he'll definitely be setting up complex schemes to rule the world (rather than just your household) any day now. </p> <p>Your boss rocks. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4063#post-115573 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 09:28:54 +0000 miu 115573@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Ahh, GD, take a good long rest first! THEN you can shoot more movies. ;) We want you to be in top shape. How else could you work, play tennis and entertain The Wild Brothers? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4063#post-115572 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 09:28:39 +0000 SylvesterMiasMomma 115572@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Poor Milo..tricked into going to the vet. I am very glad that he is doing so well and gaining weight. I hope you get your well deserved rest, GD. You don't want a relapse of your bronchitus. {{hugs to GD, Milo and Bobsky}} </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4063#post-115565 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 09:21:03 +0000 GreatDane 115565@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Awww, I want to see a pic of Ferrule's startled gaggy face! </p> <p>Actually vet had no problem pilling Mi yesterday, so maybe it won't be so bad. One can hope! If I can't I'll bring Milo to work every day with the pill and stop by vet's office to have him give it. Hmmmmm, that amy work.... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4063#post-115564 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 09:18:35 +0000 GreatDane 115564@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Deb, he was so tricky at the vet's yesterday even the vet admitted the pill in food method will most likely not work. He tried putting down a bite without pill and Mi would eat it. Then he'd put a same size one down with the pill and little guy wanted no part of it.<br /> I may try crushing it in the wet food and then pour fishy gravy on top so he won't smell it. Hmmmm, think I'll try sticking it in his mouth first *note to self: buy thick rubber gloves* and if I have no luck with that I'll try it in the wet food. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4063#post-115562 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 09:16:34 +0000 MeezerMama in OK; 10/23 115562@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Ferrule is actually really easy to pill. I just turn him on his back, gently open his mouth, and drop the pill in the back. He makes a startled gaggy face and then it's gone. </p> <p>So glad Milo is doing well </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4063#post-115560 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 09:14:40 +0000 GreatDane 115560@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I know, Catchoo! Milo hated the dropper with the Clavamox - I don't think I'd be able to do the pill that way. I'll just have to do it the old fashinoned way. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4063#post-115558 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 09:13:46 +0000 AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew 115558@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>or you could try crushing the pills and putting it on the food or in wet food if he will eat that. Glad that Milo and Bobster are curious about each other, thats a good sign. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4063#post-115555 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 09:11:57 +0000 GreatDane 115555@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>SO tired, Miu! I'm starting wto wonder how they can let me drive people around like this. My brain has stopped functioning. I've had about 19 hrs. of sleep the last 4 nights, and worked most days for about 18 hrs.<br /> Will try to do a movie on Sunday night or Monday. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4063#post-115554 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 09:10:50 +0000 feral 115554@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>GD...you mention blowing in his face alittle to get him to swallow. How do you get the pill far enuf into his mouth to even do that. I always do the chicken way out &#38; mix them with alittle water &#38; eye-dropper it down their throat. Even that's become a problem if I don't get the whole squirt down them the first time. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4063#post-115548 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 09:05:24 +0000 miu 115548@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Good thinking, Milo! A big hug to him and Bobsky! Now where's the next movie? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4063#post-115543 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 09:02:46 +0000 GreatDane 115543@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I'm afraid not, 2b! He's hungry all the time!!!<br /> Bob is so easy, he only likes his dry food! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4063#post-115541 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 09:01:01 +0000 2bpurring 115541@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh and a pound and half in 3 weeks??? He won't be "Little" Milo much longer.. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4063#post-115539 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 09:00:24 +0000 GreatDane 115539@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Yep, the pills'll be fun! I've given pills to cats before, and it's never fun. I always find the trick to blow a bit on their face to make them swallow helps.</p> <p>There will me new Bob and Milo movies soon. I have only been home to sleep about 5 hrs. a night since Saturday, so I haven't had a chance. I haven't even put the new kitty castle together yet!<br /> Tournament finishes Sunday, and I'm off Mojday for President's Day, so hopefully i can rest up, assemble the castle and hang out with my boys and shoot some more movies.</p> <p>Boss IS great. He's SO excited this morning, because I got him tickets to take his wife to the tournament last night. I had volunteer grandstand tickets for him, but one of the players' coach gave me two tickets that were much nicer, so I met up with boss and wife as they showed up at the site and gave them the better tickets. They had a wonderful time and he can't stop talking about it. He wants to go back for the finals on Sunday so I have to work on getting more tickets. Last night he watched James Blake and the Bryan brothers for any tennis fans out there, and he was very impressed. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4063#post-115538 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 08:59:53 +0000 2bpurring 115538@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Whoo Hoo..so glad to hear the news...Boy if Milo is this cleaver now..you're going to have your hands full..eat the pill pocket and spit out the pill.silly Milo... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4063#post-115537 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 08:57:40 +0000 HuddysMama 115537@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Milo the office kitten - lol. I'm glad he's doing better. He's really growing fast. *hugs to Milo* </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4063#post-115528 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 08:46:45 +0000 feral 115528@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Great News GD...I'll bet Bob had a paw in his recovery. They were so anxious in meeting each other that Milo had no choice than to get better. Good luck with the pills. They're never,ever easy to do. I know. I have the scars to prove it. lol </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4063#post-115527 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 08:43:23 +0000 FondaHonda 115527@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I wish I could magically turn all of my students into kitties--maybe then, they wouldn't annoy me so dang much and I'd have a lot more patience! :)</p> <p>I'm waiting for our next feature flick starring Milo and the Bobster! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4063#post-115525 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 08:38:44 +0000 Rubia in CA, 4/28 115525@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>YAY!
