My Day

[sg_lab2]

I had to have my cat Zoey taken to the vet today, I noticed she had recently lost a lot of weight. I realized she's hardly eating. They gave me some canned food and I have to feed her four times a day and my mom will be giving her a pill once a day for a while. I hope this works because her liver is at risk.

Anyone got any advice on giving a cat a pill?

On a happier note my mom gave me an Amazon gift card as payment on money she borrowed. I can't believe I did this but I bought a John Sheppard and Elizabeth Weir action dolls.

Oh hell, I hope she gets better.. I have two dogs and I know how you must be feeling.. my best wishes for her recovery.. *hugs*

Can't you put it inside something she loves to eat? (That's what my father did with my dog)

I'm sure they are very cool dolls so I say good for you! ;)

Hide the pill in food or a treat.
Have someone hold her and shove the pill down her throat. Hold her mouth closed and massage the throat to make her swallow. Give a treat after.

Good luck with your girl. I hope she starts eating better soon. I had to give my cat canned food with a little water and salt mixed in so that his kidneys would flush properly. I don't think I ever had to give him a pill though. I hear cats are much harder than dogs to do that to.

*pets puppy next to her* He loves his pills for some reason.

Hope she gets to feeling better soon - it's always upsetting when pets are sick. :(
