Pill Pockets worked for a while with Persia. I think I mentioned they
worked until she realized I didn't normally give her treats so I must be
up to something.

The only always successful way I ever had of pilling Persia was to hold
her firmly against my side, prise open her mouth with my other hand, pop
the pill to the back of the tongue and then clamp her jaws shut. Gently
blow on her nose. This causes them to swallow reflexively.

I got the pill pockets today. She didn't even like one empty :-(
dropping in and blowing on her nose kinda works ;-)

Spoke to the vet today.
We're gonna go with the irradiated iodine.
Less $$ by far than I expected, and treatment of choice.
I'll phone them tomorrow and speak about logistics.
I know that they want you to stop meds before treatment ...Yaay.
