yeah the stuffing it down his throat method works... I just don't like doing it lol I feel like a meanie lol.

I am going to try wrapping it in a piece of a cheese slice next time and see if that works. maybe he won't feel the urge to chew that.

the other stuff he has is liquid lol but the vet said it tastes REALLY bad so make sure we get it way back in his throat before we squirt it.

Would a pill cutter help? I mean, he gets the same dose, just in 2 or 3 pieces, which are smaller and easier to 'hide' in something? You can get a pill cutter at the pharmacy, at Walmart, they are about $2 I think.

Get well, Beezer!

I know the pills you are talking about. Frankie was on those too before they gave him atopica for his allergies. I used to wrap the whole pill in a piece of roast beef, ham or cheese. Give him a small taster (so he knows you aren't trying to pull a fast one) before he gets the pill and then give him the bundle. It'll go down so smooth, he'll never know there was a pill in there.

Frankie used to vomit initially because they were irritating his tummy.

Good luck.
