is she still scarfaroony and well?

he

he has survived the 2 months of the "2 months to a year". He has decided that the apropriate response to being forcefed pills is to not eat

so now he also gets appetite stimulant pill also forcefed.

he is playful and happy otherwise.

aw. Is the pill-giving getting easier with practice?

no, because cat is getting smarter and more skillfull with his tongue.

damn those cats and their smartness!

I suppose you've tried the nose-wetting trick?

yep, this worked for about a week.

after which, he decided it was ok to have an overly moist nose.

impressed! That's quite a long time in the world of cat dosing.

then, we tried sweetened yoghurt on the nose, which he likes. No deal. He gets pilled everyday.

Atropos had a diabetic cat who needed daily injections of insulin, but pill-giving is even harder than that.

if you could ask to give him the meds by injection instead.

did that with her rabbit and it made a huge difference.

hmmm didn't think of that. I know that the state I live in has a constituency who is deeply afraid of people using

syringes for illegal purposes.

has a liquid formulation of one of his meds, but he hates it more.

something to keep in mind, I guess.
