I feel foolish

[cjsmith]

Tonight I just grabbed Duchess and shoved the pill and a half down her throat (separately). The whole operation took less than a minute.

I've been a fool.

Oh well! She's happily eating her wet food now. That stuff is a big time treat when it doesn't taste like pills!

Of course, no sooner is Duchess (hopefully) on the mend than Rob is sick. He is easier to take care of though.

I'm glad pilling Duchess is working well enough. From my experience pilling cats, sometimes it goes smoothly, other times they spit it back out. Broken pieces spit out are the most difficult to recover. The rest of the difficulty is all in holding the cat still, getting the jaw open, and shoving it down the throat.

My experience agrees with yours. Half the battle seems to be getting the pill deep enough on the first shot, before the cat decides it's WAR.
