have you tried crushing the pill in something sweet like jam or honey?

**Maya & Inka's mommy** · 07-13-2006, 11:12 AM

Well, it is a very small pill, so I just put it in that pouch, it is same size as her kibble

When Cally needed pills I crushed them between teaspoons and mixed them in something yummy that she then licked off my finger

Does Snoopy like tuna? The best way to get Jessica to take a pill is to crushing it in some tuna mixed with a little mayonnaise.

I am sorry to hear this Lut, poor little Snoopy! I have no advice for the infection and feeding, but I think many more PT'ers had done it.

For the pill, Jasmine is terrible for it also, even if the pills are very small! I have found something that works like crazy: I use the soft cheese that you put in hamburgers or "croque-monsieur". Do you see what I mean? Sorry, I don't know the name of this cheese. I have tried with tuna and other food, but it is very difficult to hidde the pill enough. This cheese works very well because it is soft (you can also try the "vache qui rit" cheese, I am sure you know that in Belgium

), you can really hide the pill in it.
Jasmine is crazy with fish, but fish did not work at all in this case.

I think your Snoopy is just a delicate princess, like my Jasmine

Good luck, and kiss her for me, OK?

I dont know if this is any help or not, but when Abby had her UTI just a few weeks ago, I had to give her a pill daily for 10 days. The vet showed me how to do it by grasping her cheeks with one hand and popping open her mouth with the other hand and just inserting the pill at the very back of her throat , so she could not throw it back up. I think Abby was easy to do (give the pills) as she had to get another 7 daily pills as a follow up treatment. I am sure most kittys would not be so co-operative as her

sorry i have no idea as ho to pill cats besides the one you posted, as for my dogs i usually inserted the pill in some hotdog or rolled it in cheese as they gulped it in, but i might think cats dont gulp as dogs so...........how about breaking the pill down to powder mix it with water and then shoot it with a syringe (sp?) of course without the needle

or mix it with some canned food?? well just a thought...........

sorry for your battle wounds.........
