Right now Juni is on my lap as I type. She would not be here if I had a pill in my hand. I can just about get flea treatment on them each month.
First- I am so sorry it didn't work out. And about the pilling- you are so right. Filou was impossible to pill and I am so glad I did not have to try with Orion yet. Once in a while these days (he is a little allergic) I see a bit of fuzz in his eye- it is impossible to get it out although it does not hurt and the little boy is ready to picked up. But once my fingers approach the eye, the wiggling and scratching and kicking starts.
Plus: Abys are so dainty - you are always afraid you could break something and they take advantage of that
However, I hope you find a solution.
