I had a bad time pilling my cat tonight. I got the pill in, and squirted in water after to make sure it went down (it's gotten stuck before). She foamed up more than normal, so I squirted in more water to try to rinse everything out. Then she vomited on me. When I nabbed her to repill her, her meow kind of scratchy. Should I worry about having got water in her lungs? Or do cats normally sound hoarse after vomiting? How quickly does aspiration pneumonia develop? And what should I watch out for? Today was the last day of antibiotics, I really hope she doesn't get a new reason to get pilled.
Normally I coat the pills in butter and they slide right down, but she was so comfortable on my lap I didn't want to disturb her by knocking her off my lap and hunting her down to pill her. And then I ended up having to disturb her even more. My cat is probably going to start hating me soon....
