Our cat has actually just had a treatment for cystolith (bladder-stones, as we call it in DK) He is 5 years old and had this problem for the first time - hopefully the last! We have to give him 2 Penicillin pills a day for 5 days! The first morning (tuesday) was easy - mind you, he was still under influence from the anaesthesia(he couldn't walk straight for 12 hours)
He smelled it, licked it a bit and seemed content, so I put it in his mouth, closed it and he swallowed. Great!! In the evening it was getting a bit more difficult, he "dropped" the pill on the floor twice, so I gave up before he got suspicious and crushed it into his rather greasy dry food I had got from the vet - he finished that. Well, the next one, I crushed and put in the middle of some shrimps, left them on the kitchen table (he thinks it's funnier to steel food from there) and 5 minutes later they vere gone! Fantastic! Then, this morning I thought I'd try his mouth again (he was relaxing in bed next to my husband) .... I succeded - he swallowed it!! So, there's 3 more days to go, wish me luck!![]()
Ps. He is more or less back to his normal cheeky self by now! I will post a picture soon and hope he can become Cat of the day!![]()
