Judy, sounds like you are making progress. I used to mix the Clinicare with Albert's renal canned food to make it easier to syringe. He needed every calorie I could get into him. You could also try offering a small bowl of Clinicare to Wilson. Sometimes Albert liked lapping it up.
I am lousy at pilling so I crushed and dissolved all my cats meds, mixed with a little food and syringed them.
