Hey all! Just wanted to give you guys an update on how Cici has been! Her weight has been pretty stable with just small fluctuations, so I figured I'd share :) 6/22- 12.3 lbs (at vet) 6/27- 12.2 lbs 6/29- 12.6 lbs 7/5- 12.2 lbs 7/11- 12.2 lbs 7/17- 12.4 lbs Seems normal to me, yea? She's been...

Just wanted to update you that the whisker lickin's treats worked great with the 90mg Denamarin cut in half. Just halved the tablet and put one half in each treat. Highly recommend using them if anyone has a treat loving cat that's harder to pill!

Also- happy update! I JUST tried the Denamarin 90mg tablet split in half, hid each half in a whisker lickin's soft treat, and she downed them with no problem! Gave her a treat before and after with nothing in them so she wouldn't suspect a thing. Woohoo! Just made my life a whole lot easier...

Lol! Ain't that the truth! I feel like if I'm not worried about her, I'm worried about something else, and if I'm not worried about something else, well then things are pretty dang great! Worrying never does me any good except for wasting time, and I'm sure if anything significant pops up with...

Thank you for putting my mind at ease a bit! She did poo and pee in the carrier on the way home from the vet the other day after her checkup (as she does from time to time on the way to/from the vet- she's known for peeing in the carrier literally every time), so that could definitely have made...

Hey everyone! So I got the scale today and of course first thing I did was try it out. It's a normal digital scale that has a "tare" setting for infants and pets. My fiancé and I both tried it out with Cici and both times it said she was 12.2 lbs. Seems pretty accurate. Of course my nervous mind...

Oh wow, that's another option for sure, thanks so much! Didn't know they made flavored capsules either! I was out and about earlier so I went ahead and purchased some of the Whisker Lickin's soft treats from pet supermarket and decided to give it a try with two tiny pieces of the chewable...

Thank you! I appreciate your response! That might be a method to try if she gets wise to me hiding them with food. I guess I sort of answered my own question, but figured I'd post it here so it may be of help someone else- I spoke to a kind customer service rep at Nutramax today (makers of...

@AbbysMom Lol yep, that's exactly what I use to do with a previous prescription. A few treats without the pill and then the one with the pill. Worked pretty well so really hoping it works out this time! She's a smart one and is pretty wise to my tricks :lol: However, now that I know they can be...

Just wanted to add this in, which may be helpful to some pet parents! I just got off the phone with the helpful customer service rep at nutramax and she told me that the pills can indeed be halved or split but must be given immediately afterwards to insure the integrity/potency of the...

You make a very good point! I actually just placed an order for a scale so I can keep track of her weight more frequently. Thanks so much. And yes, nothing out of the ordinary for her going on at the moment, but I will continue to monitor her and hope that nothing else changes :)

Thanks for the advice! She is definitely a big girl and has a good amount of belly hang, always has. And yea your right, she definitely could stand to lose a bit of weight, especially from her previous 13.6 lbs. I was most troubled by the short period of time. Assuming she lost the weight...

Yep, sounds like something Cici would do! Whisker Lickin's were the exact treats I used, but the pill was quite small. I guess I could give that a go and see what happens. Is it safe to break the pill in half?

Hi all! My cat was recently prescribed Denamarin by our vet after her ALT value came back slightly elevated at 141. I opted for the chewable tablets that are formulated for a dogs taste buds but safe for cats, thinking I could crush it up and disguise it, but it's proving to be a great struggle...

Hi! Thanks so much for your kind and reassuring words!! Yes, the vet did mention that obviously we will have to watch for if the weight loss becomes a trend, in which case it'd be safe to assume that something else may be going on. Being that she's been at this exact weight before previously, I...
