Hey, it's me again (and now that song is stuck in my head until the end of time). Got Starbuck fixed yesterday, everything went smoothly. My only problem is, I can't for the life of me get her pain meds down her throat. I watched the videos, I got her mouth open, I put the pill in, she spits it out. My roommate came down and held her down for me, same results. I've wasted three pills that just got so wet and gross from repeated attempts that they're just not usable.
Now, the vets at the clinic who spayed her said that it's not the end of the world if she doesn't take them, but if she's in pain, I want to do what I can to lessen it. I also figure this is an important skill in case she has to take meds later on that are necessary and don't come in liquid form. But, I just can't think what to do to make this happen.
Does anyone have any advice for an aggressively anti-pill cat? Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks much!
