This is so not dignified

Sara's been on antibiotics since we brought her home to help her get over her kitty cold. Unfortunately, this means she's had to tolerate our attempts to administer those meds every morning. We're newbies on that front, to say the least.

There's been a lot of squirming and meowing, but I have to say, Sara's been very patient overall -- no scratching or hissing. The only problem was that she wasn't keeping her meds down. As soon as they went in, they came right back out.

At last, I think we've found a solution.

We swaddle Sara in a blanket to keep her still and then hold her upright for 30 minutes after the meds go in. This seems to allow her stomach to settle. Once she's feeling less gaggy, we offer her a treat. And then life is all better. Right, Sara?


Hmm, maybe we'll check back with you on that after you're done with today's dose.
