If the cats are that determined, oh well. It’ll deter them at least, and stop the dogs,

Big cat/Lion Pee/poop/scent are effective at keeping cats away. May work for dogs too. We got some from the zoo vet and it worked a charm

What is so wrong with giving nighttime medicine to a child during the day?

 

[BullChick]

If she’s being a mean little snot bucket with a cough, I think it’s a great idea! It was just a funny thought at first, but then it became a consideration.

I see no problem, it's not like she has to drive anywhere or operate heavy equipment! Sleep is a good thing when littles are sick, and sometimes the break is needed for adult sanity also! How many folks actually believe all the liquid Benadryl is actually being used for kiddos with allergy reactions?? LOL

And this may not be a popular opinion, but I would rather let my kid be sick for a few days with good fluids and plenty of sleep/rest than immediately call for antibiotics. I see no problem with allowing their immune system do its job (within reason, critical illness needs addressed by any means needed).

Overuse of medications has created a whole new subset of problems, no one enjoys being sick or having a sick child but 'quick fixes' can come with a high price as antibiotics quit working because germs are adapting. Sometimes we are better off suffering through it.

I can’t make myself make sense. So good luck with the following!

I don’t rush for medicine until I’m confident she’s suffering. Sometimes she just has allergies bothering her. She’s fine after a bath and a good night’s rest. Her father hasn’t been taking his antibiotics or nebulizer treatments. It’s been a month? Six weeks? They all pass stuff around and around. Duckling doesn’t go to the doctor because they don’t think of it. If she’s sick enough, she’s here. So if she’s on something, she gets it.
She’s bathed, and obviously asleep. I have Vick’s on her, but I can hear her breathing. It sounds harmless as far as not needing a doctor. Just tissues for now. And Lysol! Oh, kids are gross! But she shouldn’t have gone to school today.
