I have an aversion to liquid antibiotics, because years ago Lily was given a pink (Flagil??) med that made her very sick to her stomach. The vet I was using at the time said she had an allergic reaction and to discontinue treatment . . . he substituted a pill form instead.

Sandra, I have a pill popper that the vet gave me, but never tried using it . . . you will have to give us pointers . . . it seemed so awkward and I thought it would only create additional stress especially if the cat is not accustomed to being pilled; I figured if I could devise a way to coax the patient to take the pill on their own accord, that would be preferable. I've also tried just crouching on the floor, cat backed between my knees, opening the mouth and shoving the pill down, but that method is also forcing the issue and a high strung cat will put up a valiant fight, despite feeling poorly . . . I've had the best results with concealing the pill in a treat, but maybe my furkids are just easily fooled!
