I really need some help giving my cat pills. He desperately needs these pain meds or else we'll be forced to euthanize him.
It's a capsule, so the medicine can be mixed with food, water, etc.
We've tried rolling it in butter, hiding the powder and pill in ice cream/milk/turkey/pork, mixing it with his food, doing the scruff method, wrapping him in a towel...literally everything. He tastes it everytime and spits it out if we even get that far. The problem is usually that he whips his head around so fast that we can't even get the pill near his mouth, let alone get him to open his mouth for a second to pop it in. He's also horrible about syringes, and most of it ends up on him, so we can't really do it that way.
Please help!
