Your comment about creating a fearful cat made chills go up and down my spine . . . I live alone and find it very difficult (I have yet to succeed) to give my cat a pill of any size. I've tried crushing and putting in food, but I personally TASTED these pills to see what I was giving him and they were **incredibly** bitter. Just an 1/8 of a teaspoon would contaminate a small bowl of wet food as to make it inedible. What I need is a liquid form of these pills with food flavouring to inject into his food so he can eat it without the bitterness. You'd have thought that veterinary pharmaceutical companies would have figured all this out. If so, they would have made a fortune.

@kamakirinoko11 ай бұрын
@@dbuchroeder It's my understanding that you just have to find a pharmacy that does compounding. I just happened on one in my neighbourhood-use Google to search for "Pharmacy that does compounding" or "compounding pharmacy near me" and it should find one, if you're in a big city (I'm in Montreal). Then you bring the pills that the vet has prescribed-they have to be prescribed and you need to give the compounding pharmacy the prescription along with the pills (or liquids, but then you wouldn't need compounding) and there you go. I never actually went through with it so I don't know how much it would have been but as someone said it's probably expensive, but when you can't give a cat a pill and it MUST take the pill, you don't care how much it costs. Hope that helps. Let us know how it went!

I tried every medium. Wet food, tuna juice, chorus, dry food moistened with warm water. Not a pill, a capsule. Have to twist off the top and sprinkle it in the medium. Nope she absolutely will not have it. I am disabled and have no assistant. So we graduate to the high stress method. Wrap kitty in a towel, pry her mouth open and pop the capsule in, holding her mouth closed for at least two or three minutes until I can tell she has swallowed it, followed by lots of praises and a churu if she's not to mad at me to take it. This, after trying to get her to take her meds the vet's way for five days. Five days worth of meds down the drain. At some point, I just quit worrying about her "feelings " and worrying more about her state of health if she doesn't get her meds!

I have to give my cat 6 pills a day for heart disease. I've found that slipping the small ones into those Churro-type purees are the best, or, if I can, slipping one into a freeze-dried treat like chicken. But now he is catching on, or gets bored of the flavors, or simply keeps spitting it out accidentally. Some days are easier than others! I don't have someone to help me, and he is strong, but the towel method looks helpful for the times I break down and need to give it to him if he isn't getting it with the other methods. The time frame (having to give a cat a pil every 12 hours, for example, makes it worse because then I panic that I'm missing the window and he probbaly feels it! Never wanted to have a boyfriend more than to have someone help me with giving my cat these pills! 😅 Thank you for the video.

They always have help but we don’t all have assistants/housemates or neighbours to call on twice a day, every day. My cat would be backed out of there, fighting, and dreadfully stressed. Only way I can achieve this is to crush the tablet, mix in butter, and butter the top of her paws - just as I do when we move house. It’s an old way and a risk for full dosage but the only thing that works.

I think the main point is "always have 1/2 more pills than prescribed", as half of them will get unusable, when cat spit them out. It's hot summer here also, so when I cut a pill in half, one half morning, one half for dinner, the second half transforms into dust during the hot day. I tried put it in the freezer, still got destroyed when I took it out, guess some pills aren't made to last once you cut them. So, always have half more than you need.

So…EPIC FAIL! I don’t have a hemostat at home, but had a CVS syringe. I bored out the opening with a random metal tool. I don’t have the fancy paste she has on hand, so I used butter mixed with wet cat food, crushed the pill, mounded it onto the plunger of the syringe, and inserted it into the syringe. After all this work, I wrapped the 4 month old kitten in a shirt and attempted to administer said concoction. Keep in mind, this kitten has done very well with the some other liquid medicines, might even enjoy receiving it. I’ve been giving it to him for weeks. In the end, the cat panicked, got a mixture of worm, medicine, butter, and fish, flavored wet cat food all over his neck and face, the shirt, and me, and he is still running from me. I cannot catch him. This is the friendliest kitten ever and he now hates me and thinks he’s going to die. Perhaps some other modifications would work and I just really effed things up? Anyway, zero out of five stars…do not recommend. 😂😂😂

I'm at my wits end....I have tried everything to get her to take this pill. 3 days no problem, 4th day not having it. Watching this video stressed me out especially when you said the pill could get stuck. The pill my cat takes is very small and coated but has managed to find it and spit it out of every treat. I won't crush it because we are trying to avoid her from throwing up and getting more dehydrated. I don't know what to do......Please help me!!!

I'm trying to give my cat his plavix... it did not go well. I tried the first method with my husband holding him. I'd like to try the 2nd but where can I find a syringe???

Pharmacies have syringes. As a pharmacist at a drugstore for one. They also have different sizes.

stop by your vet clinic and ask for one, or ask your local pharmacist for a 3 cc dosing syringe

Perdón pero yo estoy sola y no tengo una persona que me ayude a darle la pastilla al gato. Esto no nos funciona a todos. Lo pone fácil con dos personas pero solo una persona no es lo mismo. 😊

Churro treat trick worked. But not by pushing it into his mouth. But he licked it right off my finger after licking most of the churro 😂
