How's Eli?

I hate you and antibiotics.

Eli has finished his prescriptions and is still peeing, although of smaller amounts than he used to. He fought the liquid antibiotics a lot more than the last time he had to take them. I didn't think giving him a pill would be easier, but it was. He was a good little guy. I just tossed it into the back of his mouth and he would swallow it himself without my having to resort to holding his mouth shut and rubbing his throat. The liquid antibiotics though, were another story. He was spitting it back out with each dose and made a huge mess. Eli's still on the Hill's S/D formula, but he doesn't like it as much as the Wellness turkey canned food that Morty's eating. And Morty wants to eat Eli's food!

We took him to the vet yesterday for his follow-up appointment and routine vaccinations. The vet had to take a urine sample, and I thought they were going to squeeze it out of Eli, but it turns out they did it by cystocentesis (via a needle through the abdomen). One of the vaccines was administered through liquid nose drops and he was so good for the whole exam. The vet said that she'd never had such a good patient for that vaccine. Now I'm just waiting for the results of the urinalysis to confirm that the pH of Eli's urine is ideal for eliminating crystals.
