YELLFACE NO
Nov. 24th, 2024 06:26 pmYellface nearly got 1.5 to 3x her recommended dosage of my Spironolactone. That's one of the drugs I'm changing doses of. Turns out I can snap the pills in half with my fingers. And as I was depositing a snapped pill from my hands into its little bottle, doing the pill maintenance ahead of the actual pill case filling --
*cling*
*FLING*
and Yellface, always eager for a treat (especially before dinner), POUNCED.
"YELLFACE NO YELLFACE NO YELLFACE NO!!!!" I shouted. Calmly.
She had been about to crunch down on it, but looked up all Shocked-Pikachu, and then bounded away as I got up to see what the situation was.
The half-pill was still on the floor. Undampened.
After retrieving it, I (calmly) told Belovedest that she didn't eat it, and what she didn't eat. And then went to go look up what it does in cats (it's used off-label, actually) and then the dosage.
And then (after she came back from Le Grand Prix du Couloir) I tossed her some dental treats. Of a completely different color and shape. In the other direction. With much praise and encouragement.
