I know I end up wasting a lot of medicine and supplements because I also put their antibiotics, aloe vera and, when necessary, lactulose in their water but it's easier for me and for them... It might sound lazy on my part but I have so many animals that require attention in terms of time, care and medicines or supplements that if I didn't make things easier on me, I would be overwhelmed - right now I have ten cats with two old ones (18 and 17) that require supplements and one that lives in my bedroom because one of the old cats doesn't like her, six dogs with an old one (17) that needs meds for liver issues and a urinary tract infection, one that needs supplements and to be hand-fed twice a day because she has advanced Alzheimer and, to put the icing on the cake, my husband's love of his life, Bunny, a 17+ year old bichon mix with epilepsy, pancreatitis and a lesion on the side of her mouth that doesn't want to heal fell down the stairs and broke one of her back legs in two places so we had to rush her to the emergency and, although they put a splinter on her leg, she needs to go to a specialist for surgery (metal pin and external fixator) -she alone is taking 6 different meds, 2 once a day, 2 twice a day, 1 three times a day and another 1 once every three days -and she is refusing to eat so I've been feeding her warm milk with an egg yolk and a high calorie vitamin/mineral booster mixed into it three times a day. Two of the dogs require diapers 24/7 and two of them need to be carried everywhere. Then I have the birds in the canary room, the ones in the living and the ones in the dining room, the ones in the birdroom, the street ones (pigeons, sparrows, mourning doves and starlings) and the feral cats that I feed twice a day. And it's breeding season with all the problems it brings! I have bins with 4 different kinds of dry food and 4 kinds of cans for cats, 3 different kinds of kibble and 3 kinds of cans for dogs (plus 'human' food like roasted chicken and rice for the old little ones that get picky), 2 types of gloop, 5 different kinds of seed mix and an entire wall kitchen cabinet for all their meds and supplements... I tell you, it's a freaking zoo in here and there is just the one zookeeper!
