    Pill cutters

    Not sure if I mentioned this earlier or not (I am blonde, y'know) but a vet assistant told me that a good way to cut small pills in half or quarters is to use a clipper for parakeet's nails. According to her, it works every time. I didn't even know there was such a thing but I have to go to Pet Smart soon so I'm going to check it out. Has anyone had experience w/this? Sometimes when I cut the Clomicalm into quarters, it practically becomes powder because the pill is so small.
    Blessings,
    Mary

    You can buy a Pill Splitter at the pharmacy. It looks like a small plastic container with a cutter and a plastic guide. It'll keep the pill from flying or falling to the floor when cutting, which could happen with the clippers.

    I've always used a small paring knife but the Clomicalm tablets are so small, then to quarter them sometimes is problematic. I bought a pill splitter and it broke on the first use, so I gave up on that.
