Pet Parent Vent
Hey peers,
I have a quick vent. Backstory: so my cat has inflamed gums (top, right side). He was trying his hardest to hide his pain but I am very observant. First he stopped eating and I bought every alternative brand in the book thinking he didn't like the food. Noticed him shaking in his sleep so I ran to the Emergency Vet to confirm that is was his tooth and provide pain meds. Dental appts here in NY are extremely backed up and his earliest isn't until the end of June.
I go through such great lengths for them. I will spend whatever amount. 961
My frustration comes with administering meds. The meds are to fight any kind of infection causing the inflammation and ease the pain until the appt. Do my cats not know that? Do they not know that I am trying to help? That I care? I will admit, I am a softy. I don't yell or hit them. Barely even raise my voice. And I only fight with him so much because I don't want him to re-injure his mouth. I have watched all of the "how to" videos on YouTube with little to no luck.
If you have administered meds, have you found a method that has actually worked?
Feeling frustrated and like a failure 😔 505
