Re: [Felvtalk] Getting the med IC...

Funny how some are so quick to learn the word "treat", or "milk", or 
"mouse", but when you talk sweetly to them and try to comfort them while 
you're doing something that helps them...doesn't always work so well.  Sigh.

  My most successful method of dealing with difficult cats is either a 
screen door, or a vertical upholstered surface. Scruff the cat, and get them to 
attach their front claws to either the screen or fabric, at a level of about 
your shoulder. Lower the rest of the cat (claws still attached) and you'll find 
that you have pretty good control. I can usually release the scruff, tilt their 
head back, and have two hands to tilt his/her and get the meds in successfully, 
but it has to be quick. They're so worried abut hanging on, they're at least a 
little off their game. I'm right handed, so I scruff/hang with my left, so my 
right hand has good access...

Just a thought...

I dissolve the pill in chicken broth and then syringe it down.
This works for me.

Hi Lorri, 

I'm sorry you and others are having problems with the 
FeLVTalk list mail. This error is an automatic response 
that is sent out when too many emails from the list are 
rejected by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). 
Frontier.net is one of the more temperamental ISPs. Do 
you have any other email accounts you could use for list 
mail? Since these messages are automated, I have no 
control over them. Please let me know if you have 
another email address that you can use for this list, and I 
will help you set it up. Again, I apologize for the 
inconvenience.
