Okay, I've read a lot of the threads, and tried most of them. I'm at my wits end, and have wasted 4 pills.
Swanie is a large male almost 16 pound cat, very strong, and does NOT like having anything done to him.
So far I've tried:
Hide the pill in food
crush the pill and hide it in food
hide the pill in cheez whiz
Hide the pill in butter
Hide the pill in chicken
Hide the pill in a pill pocket
Dissolve the pill in water and squirt the water down his throat
Sitt on the floor with him between my knees
Then I got DH involved. We tried it with me holding Swanie, DH holding Swanie, wrapping Swanie in a blanket, You just cannot hold that cat if he doesn't want to be held.
Normally a very gentle cat, he certainly can hiss, growl, and bite when he has to (lol)
I have one more idea. I'm going to try dissolving the pill in water and mixing that in a little bit of food. If that doesn't work, I don't know what to do other than take him to the vet every day and pay them $2.70 to give him his pill.
So if anyone knows of anything I haven't tried, please help!
