:thumbsup: Yay! This is excellent news. Thank you for the update. I'm so glad that he's on the up and up. Tom is impressed that you can pill a cat and give liquid medicine to a cat without getting scratched!
I am SO relieved! I really hope that he doesn't relapse. It took a couple weeks for him to start having trouble breathing before, so we'll see how he does over the next two weeks. The fact that he's eating is an excellent sign.
Haha, tell Tom that I did get scratched and bitten until I asked the vet to show me proper cat-medicating technique. (First time Jasper ever bit me. I can't blame him, poor baby.) The secret is the "burrito wrap". Take a towel, fold it horizontally, set the cat on top with only his head sticking out beyond the folded edge, and wrap him tightly like a burrito. That way he can't scratch unless he manages to get one of his limbs loose. Sit or kneel right behind the cat so that if he tries to back up, he runs into you. Jasper now has a new nickname, "purr-ito".
A needle-less syringe makes giving liquid medicine much easier!
I certainly will. :) Hey, did you cover the thoracic duct, pleural effusion, and/or chylothorax at all in school? I had no idea that mammals had a lymph duct of that size!
