Yes that's exactly what happens. She traps it in her mouth and would rather foam and drool than swallow! Blowing on her nose just makes her mad lol!

Good idea! I put her up on the counter (in the new dedicated feeding spot we avoid now lol) but she knows this is the bad spot. I'll try the window ledge! I guess having the clear glass helps them not feel so confined. She always spits the pill out no matter how far back it goes, and how much...

I hope she does!! Luckily I've had help every day since that dark day lol.. except today I had to get Cerenia into her myself and somehow I managed to do it! I put it in a tiny gel cap. I find if I push gently behind her canines she opens her mouth, and I can do this with just 2 fingers so I...

Update on Jade! I was able to work from home the past 2 days to feed her properly. She has started to show interest in food and is eating a bit on her own! The pet store near me was nice enough to give me some food samples, so far she has eaten Performatrin kitten food (don't mind this as it's...

Good idea! I'm mixing everything I can in with her food now and syringing it. But she drools and spits out a lot of it when I do this. Maybe the broth or something more liquidy would be better and a smaller amount of it to make sure it gets down her throat. It's so much easier syringing it vs...

I know she picks up on the stress, sadness and frustration, it's just a crazy mix of emotions and I'm really trying to be calm and positive over everything else. Yes there definitely is not an overnight solution unfortunately. I think I'll take a couple days off this week to try and get her...

Jade does all of those things as well! She flails around like crazy too and flicks her head around. I'm so scared I'm going to hurt her too. The water after is a struggle. She just stops swallowing eventually too and it all flows out of her mouth -_- It's such an emotional rollercoaster. So up...

Amazing, thank you! I tried the baby food, she licked it 3x then ran away she was obsessed with unseasoned baked salmon before, I'll try this again in a few days. So many things to add to my shopping list!

I'm googling everywhere that ships to Canada. I've seen it on Amazon and petonly, but just variety packs. I would rather get a couple to try than a huge pack if possible! Maybe I'll make a trip to tu Haha yes we don't have as much variety as the US, and I've noticed things like b12 are way more...

Haha well if its still whole, I'd give it to her too :lol: the meds are too important (and too expensive) not to! I don't understand how Jade can use her tongue so well to flick it out immediate after it goes in her mouth. Sometimes she tricks us and stores it too and spits it out in a pile of...

Wow Jade and Mika sound so simlilar! Pilling is a nightmare. Yesterday was the worst day so far, I tried for over an hour, and my sister in law came over to help (she was a technician) and she couldn't even do it. She's always gotten it in her first try. Even holdering her mouth closed for a few...

Also I'm trying to find tikicat here! After so many people say their cats love it. I'm in Canada and can't seem to find it except for fairly expensive online. I'll try it once she starts eating a bit more on her own. Tried multiple cans and packs of weruva and she was repulsed by it for some...

Wow great she is doing better and eating on her own now, good for you! How long did it take for her to start eating herself? Both my cats eat sooo slow, they graze throughout the day and one meal takes them hours to finish. Jade is extremely hard to pill. I have a pill popper coming in the...

So backstory... I tried to switch their food a couple months back, my other cat was ok with it, Jade was not. We think it was an intolerance to something since it's a good food. She was vomiting a lot and became severely dehydrated and her kidneys were damaged from it. Now her kidneys are good...

My cat was just diagnosed with fatty liver. I had bloodwork done 2 weeks ago, and another done yesterday. I've been giving her denamarin and milk thistle, and have been syringe feeding her the past week, slowly increasing the amount I'm giving her. Blood 2 weeks ago (this was a limited panel)...
