My Cat recently has been diagnosed with a thyroid problem. I'm trying everything I can to keep her medicated but she disappears and makes it very difficult to keep up with her daily medications. First i tried the regular pill, would mix it in her food and tuna fish oil, she just stopped eating. Then I brought the liquid she would fight not stay still and would hide and avoid me for days. Then i brought the "flavored" version of the pill. I would brake it up in her food and mix it she would avoid eating the food and eat my other cat's food instead. After that I brought pet "pocket pills" she also did not eat the pill. I also brought her cat food without zinc and again she stopped eating. Since I have stopped putting the medicine in her food she it thankfully eating (thank God) but my new method is applying the medication to her ear. This method is near impossible since I have to try and catch her and every time she sees me she runs and hides. I'm lucky if I can can't her once a day much less twice to apply this medication. I do not live in an apartment I live in a house and she has numerous places to hide and I hardly see her anymore. I'm very upset that I don't see her and she does anything and everything to avoid me and I need her to take this medicine for her health. The vet doctors are very nice but they I can tell they find it hard to believe that I'm having these problems with my cat. I'm at a lost and I do not want her to have surgery or to lose her. Any suggestions or methods that someone in a familiar situation can advise me will be greatly appreciated. Thank you
