Actually, I've been surprised that our vet hasn't wanted to do anything about <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/imagineaclevernamehere/Cats#5520970837862734642" rel="nofollow">Punkin</a>'s broken teeth so far. She got top and bottom fangs on one side broken along with her jaw several years ago, and she keeps bad breath from that now. :( I keep being concerned that if it doesn't hurt now--and I've been watching for indications that it does--it will eventually cause pain. Not to mention the possibility of other health problems. I was surprised the specialist didn't remove the stump of one when he pieced her jaw back together. Next time she goes to the vet's, I think we should press the matter.<br /><br />Yeah, I've noticed the strange flavors of cat and dog medications. They really don't make much sense from a "make them want to swallow it" perspective. The only apparently tasty one I've seen was some hairball paste, and ISTR it was tuna-flavored.Urocyonhttp://urocyon.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4162778936006928808.post-82246988435373261552010-11-18T15:26:28.220-08:002010-11-18T15:26:28.220-08:00CPP: Indeed, I certainly thought so!

I will definitely ask the vet about flavor choices next time anyone has to take liquid meds in any quantity. (Nikki was on pain meds for a while and I have no clue what that tasted like, as it didn't smell like anything and looked like clear liquid. But the dose quantities were tiny so she didn't mind that so much.). Pills might also actually end up being easier...when I had to give everyone worm medication the pills turned out to be way easier than the liquid; the liquid seemed to be cherry or some other "fruit candy" flavor, and *nobody* was okay with that...Anne Corwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940566603711834053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4162778936006928808.post-55245442435555940762010-11-09T07:03:59.324-08:002010-11-09T07:03:59.324-08:00I noticed that problem with the flavoring a long t...I noticed that problem with the flavoring a long time ago. It <em>is</em> possible to find tuna-flavored cat meds in some places, and Fey did seem to prefer those to the cherry or banana or mint flavored ones that they inexplicably make.Amandahttp://ballastexistenz.autistics.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4162778936006928808.post-35428525305139151822010-11-06T04:59:44.864-07:002010-11-06T04:59:44.864-07:00That's a BADASS tooth!That's a BADASS tooth!Comrade PhysioProfhttp://physioprof.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
