Thanks everyone! I too, hope and pray that Bassett has the same luck as Basil...these kitties sure attach themselves our hearts.

Anyway, our usual docile Basie will NOT take these pills. We got one of those pill shooter things from the vet and its still not going to happen. We tried to pry open his mouth, throw the pill in and close his mouth; he spit it right out! I crushed it and mixed it with milk...nope, not having that. I even put cream cheese on the end of the pill shooter, nope, spit it out again! David put the pill inside a treat...he ate around the pill. Little bugger!

So, the vet said to crush up the pill and mix it with baby food. We are trying these particular meds on a trial basis to see if they work. If they do, we can have them compounded and made into chicken flavor...yum.
