Foaming during pilling

[catnapper]

Wow, Kim you are so helpful! I remember you made a (pretty funny) nail trimming video a while back as well. I can see you how you would make a great obedience trainer.
I just love to see PTers helping each other out & sharing knowledge! Awesome.

LOL... considering how awful Pouncer is to have his nail trims it is surprising what an easy boy he is to pill! I had forgotten about Pouncer's lovely nail trimming demo!

I was only too glad to help out. Pilling cats is very scary to people. I am certainly not the best piller out there, but I found a method that works well for me and my cats, so why not share the knowledge?

What I do is to have the Vet give me the prescriptions in a Gel which I wipe on thier paws,or on thier nose,and The Found Cats ahve no choice but to try and lick it off.
I do find that so much easier than the pills.

I'm afraid this made me smile because it made me remember what Ted did when I used to put Laxatone on his paws or nose - shake, wipe and roll along the carpet or bedding, everything on the walls, carpet and furniture but none to his tum. It was quite amazing to watch, and very frustrating.

I just called the vet about getting both medicines made up in ear massage formula and they are checking into it. I used this method with heart medicine for another cat, so I know it works well but also know that not all medicines can be absorbed well enough by this route.

What a relief to be able to post here instead of boring the pants off people at work!
