from past experience I know how hard it is to get pills down here we wrap in a towel w/only her head showing, then pry open her mouth & shove far down her throat as possible, but even then she's managed to spit a pill back out any hints would be greatly appreciated ensoul ....that whenever any Form of Govt. becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and institute new Govt...it is their Right, and their Duty, to throw of such Government ~Thomas Jefferson |

shove far down her throat as possible, but even then she's managed to spit a pill back out try blowing in her face and stroking her throat. The air puff seems to make them gulp! Janet Boss http://bestfriendsdogobedience.com/ http://photos.yahoo.com/bestfriendsobedience |

I have more luck getting the pill towards the back of the throat that way than when I approach from the front. All cats are different so I guess it's trial and error. W |
