    How to get aggressive cat to take medication?

    My 7 year old cat is very aggressive when handled.  At best, you can give her a few quick pets before she tries to bite you.  She is large and can be quite fierce.  She only eats dry food.  Though I've tried, she has never wanted canned or fresh foods.  I've tried sprinkling the crushed pill  on...

    Ringworm - I really need help!

    And I'm curious, I keep reading and hearing that the cats need to be isolated for 4-6 weeks but my cats are on two week meds.  Why so much longer than the medication duration?

    Ringworm question

    Ringworm question

    I've read most of the ringworm threads hear but can't find an answer to my question.  I have three cats.  One is a kitten that brought in the ringworm though she has just one very tiny spot on her ear tip.  She is isolated in our basement with our other cat who I thought had it because she has...
