Sick cats and their meds

Last 2 weeks, Kimmy third eyelid showing up, and I know this means that she is sick. Sent her to the vet, the vet says that she might caught some virus or bug; some kind of flu, doc says she didnt have any temperature, so that's good. He gave her antibiotic, eyedrop medicines, multi-vitamin and antihistamine.

I'm purrfectly fine except that i'm a bit more lazier than usual ~ meow ~
third eyelid easily seen in this picture :( 
no worry me purlease, i wanna catnap ~ meow~


Kimmy always has been the easy cat to feed her meds, she finish up her antibiotic without much fight. But her third eyelid still showing up a bit till now, apart from that she was better-she was up and running around the house again, when she was still under medication she sleep more than usual.

I suspect that she have Haw's Syndrome, a common ailment for cats, just like flu to a human being. From what i read, it could go-away by it's own after 8-10 days time.

Done with Kimmy, my Shemon show a bit lack of appetite, found out that she have bad teeth issue, most of her front teeth is missing ! I wonder how long has she been suffering now that almost all the front teeth are gone.

Urgh.

Kimmy enjoy rides in the car, so it is super easy for us to go to the vet with her, unlike Shemon, she get all stressed out with car-ride, was shivering during the whole time in the car. Poor baby.

Doctor says Shemon have a very bad gingivitis infection (!!), apparently not uncommon for Siamese cats, and the thing with Shemon, she loves eating human food, which is bad for her. Particular bread, anytype of bread, bun, anything with flour and yeast in it (eye-rolls).
Shemon was given anti-inflammatory, antibiotic(10days!) for dental infection and some sort of gel for the gums. She's okay with the pill, even sprint out the door when we wanted to give her 2nd dose of antibiotic and make us chase her, so much energy!. (2 pill per dose!) But she aint happy with the GEL at all. Freak out when I have to administer the Gel on her gums.
