Pill pockets?

[RedHedd]

I can't help you as I've never had a problem giving meds to any of my cats. Good luck? Method? I don't know, but I do know those pill pocket things wouldn't work.

I snuggle-medicate them. Approach from behind, gently place my legs on each side of the kitty. Don't sit on the kitty nor squish him/her, just make sure kitty is firmly placed between your legs. Snuggle and kiss kitty, gently coaxing their little mouth up to yours and when they least expect it, pop the pill in or shoot the medication down their throat. Proceed to kiss kitty on the lips, stroking the chin. cooing and awing and telling them how much you love them and what a good kitty they are. Works every time for me.

I am just not having much luck today.

I tried dressing up the those pill pockets by adding another treat to it (didn't work)

I tried crushing his pill in tuna juice and in tuna (neither method worked)

I tried smooshing his pill into a regular treat (didn't work)

I tried crushing his pill and sprinkling it on his food (didn't work)

I guess I am headed to Petsmart tomorrow to see if they have anything else I can use. The worst part is that he doesn't want to be touched because he is still very sore from the surgery and stitches. My poor baby! He won't let me hold him either.
