I'm so, so, so sorry you all have to go through this again. Chin up! My vet is checking on the Amphojel tabs. nm

: *heavy sigh* ok, after much denial + delaying ... am starting iZ on oral Gelusil + Baytril IM injections again ... of course they don't have UNflavored Gelusil, but it is in tablet form so i am hoping i can hide it in his oranges ... we'll see ... it's got a pretty strong peppermint smell to it so i may end up having to stick the orange section in his mouth, but i think that'll still be better than the liquid Amphojel cuz he won't actually taste the tablet ... in theory any way ...

: really really REALLY do not want to do injections again ... but now his dewlap is swollen again so it's time, i'm not imagining all the symptoms ... wish i could get hubby to do the shot but he has to shut his eyes when he holds iZ for me so that won't work ... *weak grin* ... i think i make myself more upset than it makes iZ over this ... would really like to do oral Baytril but know it's not as effective ...

: this sucks ... big time!

: don't think he's as sick as he was last fall ... i just hate that this isn't gonna just go away ... *sigh* ... ok ... gotta go do it ... WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
