    I’ve decided to go another course of antibiotics while we sort the cat specialist, so I get to wrestle Melbcat and feed her gross banana flavoured liquid for another 10 days! 🍌 Some keeps ending up on her fur so I think I will be buying a bib.

    The specialist I saw seemed ok, not sure if he’ll be able to help but was at least respectful and willing to listen.

    The lightly scented home brand soap I bought is a bit drying on my hands but otherwise hasn’t caused immediate issues? That’s not to say it won’t. But if it works out I have a backup soap for any supply shortages of the unscented bars.

    If it doesn’t I guess it gets donated to the food pantry minus that bar or turned into laundry soap.

      Whoever thought banana flavoured antibiotics are appropriate for a cat is nuts! Surely it should be sardine flavoured or milk flavoured or something cats like.

        I don’t know the logic… there are fish and chicken flavours but perhaps some animals like banana??

        Edit: apparently a lot of animal meds were made for humans and given in different doses

      Ugh, poor Melbcat! I think banana flavoured liquid deserves a special place in hell 😝 I’ve turned hand/face soap into laundry soap with positive results. I bought some Dove soap a while back but wasn’t happy with it (ain’t what it used to be) but found it to be excellent for my towels. Made them softer than my face lol.
