hide the pill in soft food, wrap it in a slice of cheese, of course there are pill poppers for cats. It is like a syringe that you put into the mouth and it pop's the pill down the cats gullet.

Yup, for "most" cats the pill gun can work great! Just have to make sure you put it far enough back in their mouth and at the right angle.

The last pills we gave Suki where general anti-biotics. We crush them with two spoons and mix them with her meat, she's none the wiser

I'll put this in Health And Nutrition, where you may get some different ideas as well.

Thanks!

I wish my Asim would take meds that way. He's such a little brat.

I can't hide it, in anything, in any form, he just wont touch it, lol.

I cover the pills in a chunk of tuna. It always gets gobbled up in the excitment.
