We could do this with Tomi, but Kisa is like trying to pill a wild squirrel.
She moves too fast to even react, and can squirm away in any
direction...plus her mouth is small. This is with both my husband and I
holding her wrapped in a towel, plus she's weak and anemic. It's even
harder as she gains strength.

Cat food juices are more slippery (I wanted to say 'slipperier" but that's
obviously wrong!). If you can wedge her between your knees on the floor
so she is firmly held by your thighs & body, then get mouth open & whammo
in the back of the mouth. I've had so much experience with pills that I
basically just put them in my hand & go looking for the subject kitty.
Most of the tme, just bending over, backing them up to my legs & opening
the mouth will do. It's all over before they can object!

These pills come in a gelcap already. The problem is, she squirms and
moves her tongue around like crazy, so I have to try avoiding the tongue
and getting the pill right to the back of her throat, or else she bites
it. Once she bites it, she foams at the mouth like crazy, so it must
taste really bad. I think the vet techs were having a heck of a time
giving her pills too when she was there.
I am trying to coat it in butter, but cat food juice sounds good too.

I find that the easiest way is to cut the tablet up & put it in a small
gelcap. Then roll the gelcap in cat food juices. Makes it slippery &
tastes good so they swallow! Not like sticking a nasty pill in that
sticks someplace in the mouth to be spit out later on.

Yes i'm giving her doxy, but she's one heck of a tough kitty to give
pills to. Tomi is way easier to give pills.

Cassandra,
I hope she is still getting the doxy otherwise your only
prolonging the inevitable, hemo does not go away on its own. If her
anemia is because od hemo she needs the doxy to live.
