I'm happy to hear that all in all the vet appointment went well.

yes Mary i had thought about brushing his teeth, and that is what i will try to do, but Ash is a very difficult cat to pill or do anything with,i seriously doubt i will have any success with trying to brush his teeth, but i will give it a go at my own peril.

As for Lexie, she is already on a special diet for the struvite stones, but it makes her fat, i will mention it to the vet next time and ask if there is anything else that will have less chance of making her fat, we may not even have the product you suggested here Candace, but yes thanks all i will ask.

This made me LOL. My RB Puddy was the same way; that's why I called her the Pudilator. After a while, though, she just sat there and let me do it. I think that it may have even felt good to her, I don't know. Good luck, Carole. Here's hoping that you come through it w/all your digits intact.

Yeah me too lol, i am not looking forward to it,Ash almost got the vets hand when he pilled him too, i said you need a pill popper with my old boy, he agreed.

Yes well pilling him nightly for eight months two pills per night has been no joy either to us or the cat, but we have managed it,it is what is keeping him alive, silly ole puddy ,if only he knew that,let's hope he enjoys the taste of the pet toothpaste, i hope to get some next week and give it a go, let ya know how it goes.

Ash is so edgy these days, he trys and runs for the hills when we go to pill him,and he sure knows when dad is around it is going to happen, he seems to know exactly when ,even though we try and be sneaky, get the pills ready before hand etc etc,they are smart when they want to be lol.
