Pill Pockets for giving Meds.

[Marlene Chornie]

Pill Pockets are healthy treats that you can place a pill inside, pinch it closed and the cat will eat it.  They come in two flavours - Chicken and Salmon - and there's about 45 treats per bag.  I got them through my vet (because I'm located in Canada), but I believe you can mail order them or get them through your vet in the U.S.  Their website is -www.pillpockets.com .     When I give Pekoe the liquid Doxycycline, I just mix it in his canned food and he eats it all.  My vet did say that if given in pill form, it should be followed by food because the pill can tend to stick in their throat causing ulcerations.   Marlene
