supplements + pill pockets question

2006-11-12 Thread Lance

Hello,

I've got Ember on Transfer Factor: People Version. I just received  
some Mega C that I want to start fairly soon. When I give Ember the  
TF, I put it in her wet food. The trouble is, she sometimes doesn't  
tear through her wet food as I'd like. Would a Pill Pocket be able to  
properly hold the powder from the TF capsule (or Mega C)? It's  
obviously designed for pills, and since I don't have a good concept  
for how large it is, I just don't know. I'm thinking they must be  
tiny. Pill Pockets seemed to get decent reviews in the archives,  
though they sound a little hit or miss. I'll try 'em for $5. Would I  
be better off trying something else? I'm already syringing interferon  
alpha and Liquid DMG, and I'd rather not put her through another  
battery of daily syringings. I don't think that's a word, but it  
sounds kinda cool.


Thanks,

Lance

I have a much better solution, if it will work. When I need to give my cats 
supplements, I mix them into chicken or turkey baby food (beechnut or gerber's, 
just make sure no onion is in it-- just turkey and broth and gerber's has corn 
starch). Most cats LOVE baby food and will eat almost anything mixed into it. 
You can give her 1/4 or 1/2 jar each morning with the supplements mixed in, then 
when she finishes give her her normal food. This was my ritual for years with 
mine, until I stopped being able to give baby food or most of the supplements to 
Lucy due to IBD. Now I mostly mix in whatever I need to into the cooked turkey 
recipe that I make for her, and they eat it that way.
