hello all! i wrote for the first time a few weeks ago when my little babies (keera, fezzik, nico, and Sir Robbin'-new name) came down with green prjectile diarhea. I recieved a ton of helpful posts about whether it is stress, ECE, bacteria..etc. To this point it is discovered it isn't stress. I am about 90% sure it isn't ECE (of course now that I have typed that it will be) The vet gave them a stool test and said he found something in there. I am pretty postive it was a rotor virus (is that right) and he put htem on meds (flagyl 250mg/10ml h2o solution and they get 1cc by mouth, via syringe, 2x per day.)plus a juice to make it go down easier... so here is the deal, they hate it. the vet warned me. but i dealt with it and fought with them to take it b/c they should hav been better in 7-10 days. we are going on 3 1/2 weeks now and although a better (firmer/browner poopies) yesterday, fezzik had green porjectiles again!! i don't know what to do! i am goign to call th evet today, but he doesn't seem to understand how hard it is for me to give these four guys their meds on their own! 2 of them don't care. but fezzik and keera act like i am killing them slow and painfully!! i have scruffed them, held them everything! the only thing that seems to work is getting two people (when i can) scruffing keera (tight...i am afraid i am going to buise her) and while the holder also takes the ront paws and pushed down, the EVIL medicine giver covers her eyes with her hand and gives the meds into her mouth (takes from left side better than right) she coughs, gags, whines, sqeaks, paws and fights. no biting. but has developed the most horrible habit yet!! she can regurgitate the meds! the meds have always caused a foaming at hte mouth (saliva as she tries to urge it from her mouth). the vet did recommend blowing on her nose to get her to swallow. that helps a little. but now, she is pushing her toungue to the back of her throat and trying to stop it from going down!! then, she lets out a bit KACK! and the meds are all over me. last night, i did this with her. 2 people. kind words. treats and lovin'. no avail. she KACKED! and we were able to get most of it in but when we put her down for her ritual face washing, she began, stopped, made the noise again and tossed up the meds in her daddies' lap. i dont know what to do!!! any suggesitons what to mix it with. i've tried things she loves, hates. i've shown her the others get it too. it is going on 3 1/2 weeks now and i think she thinks this is forever and i know she is holding a big gruge. she is known for that!! so, any info, would help so so much! does anyone else have this problem with this med?? does anyone know if FLAGYL and METRONDAZOLE (i think that is the spelling on the bottle, are the same things??) thanks! meg and the resentful babies in NY [Posted in FML issue 2348]
