tricks to get a cat to take a hard pill.
one is to coat the pill in baby formula. Gerber baby food chicken/turkey/beef/lamb in broth. Chicken works the best. Let the kitty lick just the baby food and when the cats gets excited with the food, take a dab of baby food on your finger and stick the pill in middle of the dab of baby food and give it to the cat. Make sure you don't get bit.
If you still have a problem, after the pill is in the cat's mouth, squirt about 0.5cc (0.5ml) of water into the mouth. This forces the cat to drink the water and the cat will swallow the pill. Don't squirt the water down the throat, just into its mouth. use a syringe without the needle.
The trick has worked every time. We have a cat who has to take meds everyday and he is only 3 yo.
