    The miracle of Velveeta cheese

    OK, so it may not be the perfect choice, but I started wrapping Jim and Sterling's pills in Velveeta cheese to make administering them a bit easier. Works for me!
    The "big 2" were getting tired of 2 pills daily. And since they are getting only half of a pill, it probably tastes worse than if the pill did not have a cut side. The pill popper I bought had much too big of a hole at the end to hold the pill inside, so that did not work. I still put it way back in their throat so they don't lick off the cheese and spit out the pill, but at least they ENJOY the sensation and taste of CHEESE vs. PILL. And, an extra added bonus is that if the pill crumbles in the cutting process (which has happened several times because there is no "line") I can wrap the pieces together in the cheese and don't have to throw it away as a failed dose.

    By the way, today is one week without finding urine spots to clean up. Way to go boys!

    Glad it is working for you. Your reasons are all the ones I have for using the Velveeta. The pills I also have to give each day are too small for a pill shooter and they crumble easily. And the Velveeta slides down the throat so well.

    Bisi , I did not know you're a poet. I think the wrapping technique would work here too.

    Glad to hear that you had a spotless weekend

    LOL @ Bisi and Laurie!!!!!

    Thanks for making me laugh!!! And good for you, Jen. Cheese works wonders for pill taking in this house too (only tried it on the dogs who were spitting out their chewable Baytril). Velveeta is the best!!!!

    I've never tried velveeta but I've tried cream cheese and that works too. I'm so glad that it's working for you and that your house has finally become pee free.

    There once was a cat named Jim
    Who couldn't help but pee on a whim
    Mom said take these please
    In Velveeta cheese
    And Jenny was so proud of him.

    Ok, Ok, I won't quit my day job. It's obvious I'm no poet. So glad the cheese is working.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
