Thank you!Originally Posted by libby74
It could be that poor Mishka is getting totally stressed out at med time. If I remember correctly, the vet gave you a pill-popper? One of our cats would start drooling & gagging everytime I came near him with one, as if he knew what was going to happen & got incredibly upset. I think it could also be possible that the pill is lodging in his throat instead of going all the way down. Have you considered pilling him without the popper? It isn't hard, once you get used to it. The main thing is not to get nervous about doing, 'cause Mishka will pick up on that.
Good luck with the vet appt.

I have to pill him twice!Originally Posted by kluchetta
I think Libby might be right. The pill probably got stuck, and you know how awful that feels! How many times a day do you have to pill him? If once, that is good. I would take him in my lap, feed him some turkey, and let him go. Then a few hours later, feed some turkey, pop the pill, and feed again. Leave the turkey on the table next to you so he sees his reward. If you do it right, pilling is pretty quick - I think it's a LOT easier than liquid medicine. Then again later in the day do the turkey thing. So every time you treat him, you don't also torture him, LOL.

Thank you so much for your support!
The only regret I have so far is- that we did not take Mishka's little brother, when we adopted him... So I would have two kitties of my own right now instead of one... I always thought two is better then one! But rightnow- with me pregnant and Mishka's sick- I do not think it is the smartest idea to adopt another cat...
Plus we do not know how he ( Mishka) will react to that...
I just have to wait.....
Thanks for kind words!
I take my meds in the morning and I notice I get a really dry mouth and dry throat from it...Originally Posted by ~love_that_cat~
