Tip on splitting pills

[Twylasmom]

I’ve been having trouble with methimazole tablets shattering when using a traditional pill splitter. My vet recommended using the nail trimming scissors that they use. They work great - it’s like cutting through butter! Just thought I’d share if anyone else had this problem.

I purchased mine from my vet. I’m sure they made a profit on it but it’s worth it to me.
