Pills

[gurl2005bby]

Is there any other way i can give her pills? I am using Pill shooter and she always try to throw up the pills and so does the liquid (it suppose to taste like tuna) and i try to give her ham cover the pills and it just make her eat the ham around the pills.... and i try to give her yogurt cover the pills( she wont take it and just make her head move around so she wont take it... and i try to take pill apart and sprinkle on wet food but no she wont eat it and just eat around the food... And whenever i get pills into pills shooter and liquid ready and she just watch me while i do it and whenever i come to her (i always close bedroom door cuz that where she would hide under the bed) and she would take off and kept moving around whenever i come to her but eventually i got her.... So is there any other way i can give her????

She kept acting like a human little kids who dont want to take meds lol...

Are you still with your parents, and if so, why aren't they helping you?

Remind me please, what is she being treated for (is this a cat?) What are the "pills"?

[gurl2005bby]

No i am living on my own... It is a Cosequin and she is being treated for her bladder. It just make me feel bad that she trying to fight me just so she wont have to take a pills and Liquid...

Cosequin is available in capsules, which you can break open and sprinkle over the food, use canned food for this purpose. Put a little bit of canned food on a dish, open the capsule, mix the Cosequin with the food, she will probably eat it. Do NOT attempt to force a capsule into a cat's mouth, they can choke quite easily and the capsule can get lodged in the esophagus.

Are you giving other pills or medication other than the Cosequin?

I did try to break open and sprinkle over the wet food and she just smell it and walk away (trust me she love wet food) and she just seem to know that that there powder over wet food and i thought she has to take it so i was like i can have her swallow pills.... she is only taking Cosequin and Clomipramine. And she also try to spit out of Clomipramine and Cosequin.

Please talk to your vet about this. Why is she on clomipramine? In my opinion, this is probably unnecessary.

Have your vet check his stock of Cosequin for cats, I think there are two different flavors and I believe there is an un-flavored one (I think), your vet can check on that, and determine if kitty even needs to be on it.

When was her last check-up, urinalysis? If over a few months, it might be time for a new urinalysis. Also, what are you feeding her?

[gurl2005bby]

SHe is on it because of her bladder wall was thickening or thinner and also she hold it for 2 days straight. Alright I will have to talk to vet about it...

I took trouble there like a month or ago because of her nail cap and also her neck piece of skin wouldnt heal just kept bleeding and stop and bleed again... but she put something on neck and told me if it doesnt heal she will have to biopty to make sure it isnt something (i forgot) but it start bleeding again....

Her last checkup was well a while and also urinalysis was about few months... I will have to call a Kitty Clinic today to make a app for check up and urinalysis and also check on neck

I am feeding her a Purina Veterinary Diet UR St/Ox

[gurl2005bby]

I went to see vet cuz i have to pick up med for trouble neck. I talk to her about check up and vet said wait til we see how trouble neck is if it healing or not

[mamabear]

Please TELL your vet you want her to be seen and have an updated UA and physical exam. Why are they waiting on this when they KNOW that the cat it fighting you on the pills? I thought they said they want to see Trouble there if the bleeding didnt stop, why are they waiting on that as well. hmmmmm

[gurl2005bby]

She gave me an animax ointment on her neck... it not bad it just wont heal for months it just bleed and stop and bleed etc if you just pull (barely) and it start bleed.. She just want to see how trouble neck heal if not then she will bioptly(sorry i forgot to spell) on her neck... that way i wont have to make 2 apps for her... Vet told me i dont have to give trouble pills anymore since i told her about fighting and all that...
