Cat food juices are more slippery (I wanted to say 'slipperier" but
that's obviously wrong!). If you can wedge her between your knees on
the floor so she is firmly held by your thighs & body, then get mouth
open & whammo in the back of the mouth. I've had so much experience with
pills that I basically just put them in my hand & go looking for the
subject kitty. Most of the tme, just bending over, backing them up to my
legs & opening the mouth will do. It's all over before they can object!

These pills come in a gelcap already. The problem is, she squirms and
moves her tongue around like crazy, so I have to try avoiding the
tongue and getting the pill right to the back of her throat, or else
she bites it. Once she bites it, she foams at the mouth like crazy, so
it must taste really bad. I think the vet techs were having a heck of
a time giving her pills too when she was there.
I am trying to coat it in butter, but cat food juice sounds good too.

I find that the easiest way is to cut the tablet up & put it in a
small gelcap. Then roll the gelcap in cat food juices. Makes it
slippery & tastes good so they swallow! Not like sticking a nasty
pill in that sticks someplace in the mouth to be spit out later on.

Yes i'm giving her doxy, but she's one heck of a tough kitty to give
pills to. Tomi is way easier to give pills.

Cassandra,
I hope she is still getting the doxy otherwise your only
prolonging the inevitable, hemo does not go away on its own. If
her anemia is because od hemo she needs the doxy to live.
