Infection and Antibiotics


We believe kitty's got an infection. She refused to eat, hid under the covers all day, and wasn't purring even when hugged. I managed to sneak a peek inside her mouth while she was grooming herself and saw that the entire left part of her mouth was red from where her teeth used to be, and swollen (not sure how much from the tumor and how much from an infection). She's definitely been having trouble eating and makes little snorty noises when trying to swallow her food. I got some liquid antibiotics yesterday from the vet which seems to be making her feel better.

Weight: 6.0 lbs
Medication: ClinDrops Clindamycin Hydrochloride Oral Liquid Antibiotic, 1 ml every 8 hours
