If you're going to the vet's for more pills, they may have a piller they can sell you.Karen Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306986336556283751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401894034548115444.post-68925857479437303382010-02-10T15:52:23.370-06:002010-02-10T15:52:23.370-06:00Here it is:

Let me see if I can find a photo of the ones I used on the web, if not I'll find one of mine (no cats now, alas, so it's not readily at hand) and take a pic.<br /><br />If memory serves, I would tuck a cat under my left arm while I was sitting in a squishy chair like a recliner, so the cat is gently trapped by the chair and you.<br /><br />Then use my left hand over his head from behind, so my thumb would be on one jaw hinge and another finger on the jaw hinge on the other side. Gentle inward pressure on the jaw hinges will open his mouth,and you use the piller, which is in your right hand, to pop the pill way back, hopefully over the hill in his tongue.Karen Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306986336556283751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401894034548115444.post-14344068491810445572010-02-10T11:50:21.523-06:002010-02-10T11:50:21.523-06:00OMG pilling a cat is one of the most traumatic thi...OMG pilling a cat is one of the most traumatic things a person can experience in their lives. A piller does help, but if your cat is stubborn (and flexible) enough, nothing helps.
