Thanks Kirsty, I'll give did that a go! I tried to give it to her holding her in my hand on my bed, and putting the syringe in her mouth. She nipped it and the Baytril went all over her chest fur. She'll lick it off and hopefully some of the antibiotic will be licked up too!

She does sound very unwell Hetty and this is likely why she is nippy. It may even hurt a bit to be handled. I'd try the swaddling method with a small towel and quickly in the side of her mouth. It can take a few days for the meds to work but it may be that the lump is affecting something else and making her feel so ill

I know Souffle, she is very unwell. She's not coming out of her nest, when she does she just takes a few nibbles from her stash and back to her nest. I so distraught over this.

Tonight she was a bit more alert. I coaxed her out for a some sort of play cause she was chirruping at her door . I put on my futon, which she wandered about on. Seemed quite happy and alert.
But then I thought she like some time in her play-pen, but all she did was sniff at her hide-away box and curl up. So I put her back on my futon, and she wandered around again. I think she's just not up to anything, poor little thing. : (
Other then her peeing and lethargy, she seems happy. She has moments of alertness. Her eyes are bright, ears perky and fur in good condition ( she's still grooming!) Those are pluses, right?

What's saddening me now, is I can feel definitely the lump. Maybe it's because the vet said it was there that now I notice it.... Christ I hope this medicine will work and relieve her weeing.
