Pill giving trick from my vet

Took all three to vet today and asked for assistance with the Drontal pill for Bobs as she hates medicines of any kind.

They used a pill pusher immediately followed with a small syringe with just a few cc's of water. The vet said that will make her swallow. Seemed to do the trick. She said she has been using this method lately with success.

Thought I would pass along.

Sounds good but I still find the pill pockets the easiest. I put them on the floor, cat eats them up. No fuss, no muss, no holding.

That would assume that the cat liked the Pill Pocket (Punkin doesn't) and has never had anything nasty in a Pill Pocket, like benadryl (Ella has).

Hannah likes her pills in cheese, please! If it works, I don't mind giving her a bit of cheese to get the pill in her.

I've often used the water trick. It works really well.

I always coat the pills with butter and they slip right down.
