    It’s not the capsules that are the problem

    We find that rolling it up in a bit of minced beef does the trick.

    She really loves this thing! She usually does a couple of circles under the cover before laying down...

    Taking advantage of the milder weather today, Zelda and I had a nice local hike.

    Sorry I don't follow ::facepalm2:: the capsules are binned and it is only the powder that is sprinkled on the food and as it is so fine it usually is never discovered.

    The boys seem to enjoy the motorhome travels,

    As an aside if you ever travel through Deeside in Scotland I can recommend a stop at Ballater and in particular the old station, lovely home baking, coffee, hot chocolate, etc. etc.

    I’m saying it’s tablets that are a problem. I try to get liquid meds which in most cases they have but my cat needs this cancer med that is only made for humans. I can’t force her to take them and if I grind them up and put them in food I guess she smells it and won’t touch it. I am a cat herder so I consider myself an expert on the subject, I’ll withhold the facepalm

    Never tried one myself, but I have a friend who told me she uses something called a "pill popper" for her cat, who needs to take pills multiple times each day, and got pretty finicky about it.

    Thanks I’ll look it up. She is about 19 now and has cancer. I give her shots and liquid medication. She probably doesn’t have a lot longer but she has had the big C for a year or so. TBH I really don’t like to force things on her but if there is an easier way to go about this I’ll try it. Vet said there is a very slight chance the pills would help and the shots and liquid seem to be doing her well.

    I apologise as the face palm was intended for myself, I can only hope that things work out well.

    It can get expensive, but you can get the medication compounded. We have a human pharmacy in our town that can compound the medication for veterinary purposes. We got our dog's meds done up in a beef flavored solution. It was great, she loved it. Try asking your vet.
