Good...Thanks for stopping by our Fuzzy Tales blog!<br /><br />Good luck with Magnum. I confess to not being good at pilling a cat, having little experience. I used transdermal methimazole with my angel Annie, for her hyper-t, because even three different vets couldn't pill her and I wasn't going to do it. LOL. I've crushed pills, syringed meds in, but pilling is intimidating. I hope the tips from Andrea help.<br /><br />BTW, we're in Kingston. Probably a few degrees cooler than you are, but when it's around 40C+ with the humidex, hot is hot. <br /><br />Oh, and someone, just a few days ago, sent me a link to a brief YouTube video on how to immobilize a cat. They used a binder clip on the cat's neck, effectively scruffing it. That might be too much for Magnus, I don't know.<br /><br />The video is here, though:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5S2VUp1PSIc<br /><br />Fuzzy Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505853082591216696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804765572132707892.post-63591461624632233732013-07-17T17:24:59.700-07:002013-07-17T17:24:59.700-07:00OMC are you ever a sweet heart!

But the easiest way for us to pill her is to put it in gooseliver/braunschwiger. The strong smell obscures any pill smell and she LOVES it and practically swallows it whole! I put the pill in one bit and give her several bits, then when she's done with those, I'll give her a few more just so she always knows if she finishes she gets more so she wont skip the pill one if she happens to smell anything. If it's a big pill I put cut it up and put it in two or three bits. If it's a capsule, I'll open it and dump it in a bit of canned food then give her more when she's eaten the teaspoon or tablespoon with the pill. She's pretty much trained to know that treats come in at least two batches if she finishes. <br />Leo won't eat any kind of treat or human food so he gets held by daddy and pilled by mommy. He's so strong! If it's a capsule it goes in a bit of canned food on top of more canned food or gets more canned food after he eats the pilled stuff.<br />Good luck and I hope you get him pilled!Andrea and the Celestial Kittieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15942189938392720055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804765572132707892.post-4344940469743580172013-07-17T06:50:00.447-07:002013-07-17T06:50:00.447-07:00that is good news....and no help on the pilling fr...that is good news....and no help on the pilling front - maybe try wrapping him in a towel?
