Thanks for some great information!all the advice is spot on. Ask vet about Pepcid ac. get a pill popper and empty capsules. Pepcid is very bitter and will cause foaming at the mouth. don't mix in food. coat pill with butter-insert into pill popper. follow with syringe of water. feed 30 minutes later once it's kicked in. some cats need it every 12 hours. some 24. let the vet decide.
This is the best way to give meds-get some empty #3 or #2 capsules on amazon. put meds in-coat the larger section of pill with butter-this is the end sticking out of popper...have cat on a soft chair facing you-open mouth with one hand with finger and thumb on each side of jaw-as you bend your hand backwards-the head should fall backwards and mouth open-you can use the pinky of same hand to get mouth open enough to stick popper in back of tongue-push plunger-follow with water and treats.
