Someone else recently told me about the ear gel. Amazing. We haven't tried that, yet, since she DEMANDS her pill in a glob of melted cheese, now. I swear she can tell time. Like clockwork she sits in the kitchen and hollers at us every 11-12 hours to give her her pill treat.

Right now we're waiting to get her on meds for incontinence. We tried a tablet (actually intended for dogs), but she won't go near them...not in cheese, not in tuna juice, not in canned food. They have a pretty strong malt odor. So a compounding vet pharmacy is making an oral version for her.

At the vet they did her routine bloodwork for her thyroid levels and they had at least 2 people handling that. She is old and seems frail, but she can growl like a tiger and doesn't take crap. I think they get a kick out of her. The vet seems to think she's doing pretty well, incontinence aside. He was actually pretty surprised that she's dealing with that, since full incontinence is not all that common in cats, I gather. They are far more prone to choose not to use the box, rather than be physically unable to control their bladders.
