Ivermectin use in cats?

I believe she has an abscessed tooth. Her right jaw is swollen. I tried giving her antibiotics in canned food. On three tries she ate every piece except the ones with the antibiotic inside. The abscess may be draining as the swelling is receding. She has no problem eating and is acting normally. Bottom line is that she is a feral animal and will not tolerate being restrained. My greatest concern with her has been my inability to deal with any health issues that might/eventually will arise.

Abscess is draining, and she is doing okay so far.

That's good news!

Scaredy's jaw is apparently back to normal with no swelling or draining of the abscess.

Glad to hear it!

Tooth must have been bothering her for a while. Her appetite had decreased - I figured it was a factor of her age. Now that she feels better, she is eating up a storm and back to 'demanding' her breakfast.

Good for Scaredy, happy Easter to her!

She spent the day lounging in the sun on the deck.

I need to bring out Scaredy's summer house. She doesn't use the winter house much in the summer. Today it's raining and she is sitting in a semi dry spot under the deck overhang.
