I had two good mask ideas for the afternoon and evening one. She already takes a cranberry supplement, so I tossed that into the canned food along with the pill and she lapped it up. She takes Fish Oil (has for three years) So the night pills got ground up and and soaked that into the fish oil, put that into a quantity of canned food and we were good to go. I was looking for a breakfast alternative to mix the nasty bitter pill into, and after reading these, I may take a piece of my morning banana and grind the pills into that and then mix in the food. This will be our routine for the next seven days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382480381687088490.post-1627875346174114762016-11-03T11:00:33.572-05:002016-11-03T11:00:33.572-05:00Warning to all who use the peanut butter method!

If you use peanut butter to hide your pets meds then make sure you check the ingredients. It would be great if this post can be updated to include a Xylitol warning in the peanut butter recommendation section.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05012843838007538069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382480381687088490.post-45874997215445794542016-08-18T14:59:13.121-05:002016-08-18T14:59:13.121-05:00I was agonizing trying to give my cat her flea pil...I was agonizing trying to give my cat her flea pill and this never occured to me...duh.

That way if it tastes funny with the pill, it won't ruin cheese for them!<br />Cats are SO much more difficult when it comes to this. Last time we got liquid for Sam thinking that would help, but she would manage to spit half of it back out!

The Pill Pockets and pill paste worked a few times with Moosey, but he got wise to the trick, and would chew with his mouth open so that the pill would fall out. Luckily, he's REALLY good about getting pilled. Gracie and Zoe do not like getting pilled, nor do they like treats, so they are more tricky. Compounding helps with them -- easier to squirt something in their mouths than pilling them!meowmeowmanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12513539249219283256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382480381687088490.post-64743543772438558342015-01-21T09:37:10.381-06:002015-01-21T09:37:10.381-06:00Awesome tips!
