There is also a liquid antibiotic that worked well on gushy food.
Daisy-chan used it at times as even the vets couldn't pill her.


I've used an eyedropper, holding the cat much as for getting a pill
down (hold head from behind, thumb and middle finger where the jaws
hinge). A quick squirt and done with minimal blood loss (on my part).


LOL, Daisy-chan was a true feral, (not the joke, 'ohh I found her
outside must be feral') and that does NOT work.

No, not even the vet could do that.

Smile, I get to laugh now but it wasn't that funny to get 'free nail
clipping' for the safety of the vet. Nor was it funny to see the had
ski masks (Haloween movie type) and metal 'gloves' to the shoulders for
a few years at the vets.

She did calm down with us pretty fast but Lord help the vets and staff!
I think she was 18 before she calmed down enough for them and just
snarled.
