Yeah, same drug-dealer-mentality. They also assume to catch most people off-guard, unaware, frightened for their pet etc, so few will say "No! lemme check this first" ;-) The vet was stunned when I said No. lmao.
In the end I had 5 dishes laid out for the cat - pick your poison moggie!! It even drank the electrolyte, even tho every article says salt is bad for cats!!
Cat is now at 80% purring index!
;-)

maybe the one dose of antibiotics helped - hard to tell when the side-effects are the same as the symptoms - altho the probiotics would be needed after the antibiotics did their deed.
