This is a very important article written by a well respected Vet who used to frequent a cat health message forum I belonged to. Up until reading it, I had never been aware of "Erosive Esophagitis" ..how many of us pill our cat and assume the pill has gone down the throat but there's a good chance it has not and it will dissolve in their esophagus and do damage there, cause a lot of inflammation -- UNLESS you chase the pill down with a bit of fluids following. She gives other excellent tips on pilling and alternatives to pilling.
If someone wants to "STICKY" this article, they're more than welcome!
