Cat will not eat worming tablet
I am helping a semi feral cat and from being very very skinny a few months
ago he is now putting on some weight. I have my own cat and I manage to give it Drontal Cat by crafty deception, but the stray one will not be deceived. Any ideas other than these which have not worked; hiding small pieces in raw chicken, Tasty Sticks of chunks of cat food or mashing the tablet in favourite cat food. Ingestion by mouth is not an be an option at the moment. I have spoken to Drontal Tech. Advice and their only suggestion in to have Spot-On (prescription only) treatment via a vets. |

No answer here but I await those with a suggestion. Well, they do sell Pill Pockets of various flavors and I had some success with the Duck flavored variety with one of my cats. Sometimes you can make a pill pocket from a soft type of cat treat. It may just be a matter of finding a flavor treat that he likes. My cats are far from unanimous in their likes of various treats so that might be a factor. |

Cat will not eat worming tablet
I like dgk's suggestion of using a Pill Pocket. Also, have you tried mashing it really fine into some stinky fish, like canned tuna or sardines? You could also give her just a little bit of food one day, and then set out the stinky fish with the pill inside, so that's she's really hungry and more willing to eat it.

I had never heard of a Pill Pocket before and I will definitely bear that in mind and also your other suggestions which seem to have much merit. Thanks a lot. |
