Options for giving him pills - what does everyone think?
What about it?
Photo of the very cute cat (Tiggs) for attention.
He has what the vet thinks is asthma and we are starting him on Prednisolone while we wait for test results to come in. He's a foster cat and we know very little about him - his owner passed away so no idea if he has previously been diagnosed.
He is a very fussy eater and the only treats he likes are the crunchy ones, so I can't get a pill in them. He has turned his nose up at pill poppers and cheese, and he removed it from his wet food. The vet isn't keen for me to crush it up, and he's still pretty skittish so I don't think I can give it to him manually - plus he is my first cat, so I have no idea what I am doing. He has a tendency to nip when he is annoyed as well.
It did look like the pill started dissolving in the gravy of his wet food, and the one thing I can be certain of is that he will always lick up all the gravy. Can anyone foresee any problems with me putting his food in a pot in the fridge overnight and seeing if the pill dissolves in it please?
