Re: [Felvtalk] pilling
I dissolve the pill in chicken broth and then syringe it down. This works for me. Lorrie On 10-30, Marsha wrote: > Easiest one I ever had was getting prednisolone to shrink his mast cell > tumor.

Re: [Felvtalk] pilling
Easiest one I ever had was getting prednisolone to shrink his mast cell tumor. I would hold up the pill, hidden between my fingers and ask him if he wanted a treat. I would get him all excited about the treat, and then he would just snarf it up really fast before he realized that it was a pill. That was before Pill Pockets. But he didn't fall for that trick so quickly the next time around. I could only do it once in a while. Most difficult one had an unbelievable talent for faking a swallow or somehow working the pill back up and out. I would find the pill later on the carpet or stuck to his long-haired bib. Finally got a mortar and pestle, ground his meds to powder, and mixed them into a treat ball with some malt-flavored gel that he loved. This won't work for nasty-tasting meds or timed-release ones that can't be ground up.

He hurt his paw and I had to soak it several times a day in Epsom salts so I used a Styrofoam coffee cup and put his paw in the warm solution. The first time he pulled back a little and after that he realized I wanted him do leave it in there, and he would sit on my lap for 20 minutes with his paw in the cup...no problem. Tigger, on the other hand, would probably have the cup flying around the room or something. ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org

[Felvtalk] pilling a cat syringe a cat
Hi all – I no longer has an FeLV kitty cat but continue to follow the e-mail conversations. I recently came across this through another “cat” person. This maybe be an answer for “pilling” or having to syringe a kitty. The picture came from their web site. I am ordering one today. http://cat-in-the-bag.com Sandy “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak.
