Meryl, I can’t pretend to understand any of what you’re going through, but we’re all pulling (and praying) for you and Tig.

Herschel, great minds and all that… I have an antique mortar and pestle that I got after my uncle died. I used the pestle to crush a tablet and mixed it with Tig’s food.

Unfortunately, he’s back to not eating again. It must have been the sub-q fluids that made him feel better. I don’t know how I can give him fluids every day. I can’t afford to keep bringing him to the vet, I live alone, and it’s really hard to keep him on the table while the water drips into him. He hates that feeling.

He’s dying, slowly, before my eyes. It really sucks.

Take the 1/4 tablet, crush it between a layer of heavy plastic sheet until it is power like, then mix it with his favorite wet food. I do this every morning for my senior cat, he eats it with no concern for the “additive.”
Good luck, and keep us posted.

He’s still a handsome cat! He even has a mischievous look in his eyes. :)
