Ted has always been rather difficult to pill but when he had to receive two courses of antiobiotics in December, he became very stressed about it all and began foaming up before I even got the pill into his mouth. Now that he's in acute renal failure and I have to give him both antiobiotics and potassium pills, I'm faced with a real struggle. He's the only cat I've had to wrap in order to pill, as I did tonight when holding him from behind didn't work, but even so it's a battle to get his mouth open and get the pill down. Between his head jerking around, his tongue lashing, his trying to bite me (though I'm using a pill pusher) and the masses of saliva bubbling out of his mouth, I keep getting the pill back - mushy and unusable.

How does everyone else deal with the copious saliva issue?
