Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2008new kitty Bonnie not happy
Bonnie has been here 1 month now. At first she would run over to me and brush between my ankles to greet me and she would sit on my lap and be very social, but now, she just lays on the bed all the time! She was a stray and fitting into my home was a challenge. I got lots of Feliway to help. She's on some medication (antibiotic) for 2 weeks. (She had a ruptured anal sac) That will be over Tues. Do you think the meds are making her feel badly? I have to give her a vile of antibiotic 2x a day for 2 weeks. It's called Clavamox. It makes her foam at the mouth after administering. I really want her to bond with Bobby but she doesn't want to. He wants to, but she hisses at him. Anytime a cat 'foams at the mouth' after meds is usually because they are hypersalivating to get the ICKY taste out their mouths. give it with food, sometimes if can give them runny poo or an upset stomach. She might just be in a bad mood from all of it Give her time, cats have their own social agenda.

It will all be over 4/9 and maybe she will rebound to loving me again? >> Anytime a cat 'foams at the mouth' after meds is usually because they >> are hypersalivating to get the ICKY taste out their mouths. give it [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > to a newcomer here and I think she is getting mad at me for doing so. > It will all be over 4/9 and maybe she will rebound to loving me again? I'm sure she will, although she may decide to punish you a little longer before coming around. You can't force cats (or people, for that matter) to bond, but they'll reach a point where they at least get along. Purrs for a quick healing and forgiving.

I am lucky to have her mouth open. Aiming has come second fiddle here. The meds cost $49.00 a bottle and I have 2 bottle to go through. I really want to get this into her little body. Its okay, i see this all the time....or used to see it :( They are just hypersalivating. I used to go as far as to warn the client AHEAD of time aout this so they don't freak out if their cat starts 'foaming at the mouth' *sigh* Kristi I've been told that Clamavox can cause gastric upset and diarrhea. So maybe she is feeling a little punked out from the medication. S. Signature**Visit me and my cats at http://www.island-cats.com/ ** --- > Bonnie has been here 1 month now.

I only have a few more days.. not nearly enough time for some cats, if it were Chester he would already be having a love fest, Trudy on the other hand still would be cussing at her and you for a new family member, give it more time, Lee > Bonnie has been here 1 month now.

When prescribed, I always ask if there's an alternative - I'll take it if the doc thinks it is by far the best antibiotic for my condition but I really don't like the 'side effects' and would prefer something else if it is close to as effective. Purrs for Bobby to come around. Yowie yepp <yepphers@gmail.com> wrote in message: 6896a4d5-7692-42b9-b44c-11953e3628e4@z38g2000hsc.googlegroups.com, > Bonnie has been here 1 month now.
