Je crie, donc je suis

Louis Catorze’s morning dose of thyroid medication is relatively easy. Well, the Maths isn’t, but the application is, since 0.07ml isn’t drastically different from 0.06ml. 

However, his evening dose is rather more difficult, because 0.11ml is hugely different from 0.06ml. In fact, it’s a surprisingly enormous amount. And, whereas 0.06ml could be blobbed onto his ear in less than a second, 0.11 requires a kind combined blob-and-smear move, otherwise it just sits on his ear and doesn’t absorb. And Catorze is not a fan of the blob-and-smear move. 

This is not what we needed at all. That said, it’s either this or pilling the little bastard, and we don’t need that, either. 

Let’s hope that it’s all worth it when he has his next blood test.

    Those are such odd dosages. It sounds complicated.

      They’re really random numbers, aren’t they? Why not 0.09 at each dose? That would be so much easier to do.

      We really wouldn’t expect Louis’ prescription to be simple, would we?

    My old calico got diagnosed as hyperthyroid this Spring. Thank goodness she takes her half of the tiny pill if I just lay it on top of a blob of acceptable food.

      ON TOP of the food? You don’t have to disguise it?

        At first I hid it in the food but she just ate around it. One day as I dropped it on top she dug in so fast she apparently didn’t even notice it. (no idea why the font changed mid-typing) Once in awhile she manages to avoid it, but it is a most pleasant variation of “pilling the cat” !

    What about giving Louis’s evening dose in two parts, half in one ear and the other half in the other ear? Courage.

      No, once he’s had one dose he won’t hang around for a second! 🤣🤣🤣 Plus that would entail having to measure 0.055 each time.

        I had a feeling that might be the case. About the Maths, as the trouble is located in none of his ears, putting the same amount in each of them is not really mandatory 😀.
