How to Give a Cat a Pill

1. Pick up cat and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as if holding a baby.

Allow cat to close mouth and swallow.

How To Give A Dog A Pill

1. Wrap it in bacon.

2. Toss it in the air.
 
We just got our first cat (after numerous dogs) last year and I am SO not looking forward to having to medicate her. This scared me to death!:scared1:
 
Socks has to be wrapped for everything. Tippy is easy to get tablets down but looks martyred and goes and beats Socks up. Queenie had to get one of her canines out so she is a toe rag to give a tablet to, but even before she was the master of that swallow and look like you ate something horrible then spit the thing out. So you finally get a tablet down her throat and she joins Tippy and beats up Socks. I really think with that pair everything comes down to beating up Socks, pitty he loves that pair and cant keep away from them.
 

:rotfl:

With my dog, I don't even have to hide the pills in food, i just put them in my hand and she eats 'em raw! Silly dog thinks they're treats! :rolleyes:
 
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Thank you for making me laugh today, I needed it!
 
My dog was a master of eating the treat without the pill. Even when I stuck in the middle of easy cheese... I would wrap it in the treat, stick it in her mouth and then hold her mouth shut till she swallowed. Although more than once, she would hold it in her mouth till she could spit it out later...

It should. It's true! :laughing:

The difference in giving Charley & Hazel any pills versus the cats we had growing up??? HUGE!

My mom would go so far to buy a can of tuna and when the cat was done eating the can, she'd find the white leftover chunks he spat out. :lmao:

They are little punks when it comes to that! :rolleyes1
 
well done............was it original?.......even if it was not...........well done.

I forgot about Hazel! How is she doing?

My dog Zoey can sort out and hide pills, so I am not kind when I give her a pill. I just pry her jaws open and push it back with my finger as far as I can. The dummy is still excited every time I open the bottle!

nahhh...:) It was from an email I got. It also had a lot of funny kitty pictures, maybe I will go back and get them for y'all.
 
they both have the same expression in your sig.:laughing:


Noooo...Charley is a tad more mortified by the ridiculous hat he is wearing. :laughing:

No worries though. Tonight I'm bringing home my pink Mouse Ears that sit on my shelves at work, and snapping a mortified picture of Hazel, too. ;)

I can't believe how quick they grow, though. I mean, seriously every morning I wake up I go "geez!"!! :eek:
 
DH and I laughed so hard at this!!! At one time Hershey had to have antibiotics for a torn ligament, and at another time Cheeto needed pills for allergic reactions. I used to set my alarm clock 30 minutes early to get up in enough time to catch them, try and force the pills down and inevitably sit there rubbing their throats until I was sure they swallowed!
 
That was so funny I loved your list...

I used to have a cocker spaniel and you could give her any pill just by putting it in a slice of banana. I now have a yorkie and after a little bit of fighting and him spitting it out I look him in the eye and tell him hes going to eat it one way or another and he accepts it and eats it and then ignores me forever lol hes a smart little bugger.
