My cat was prescribed an antibiotic for an eye infection and we're having a heck of a time trying to get them into her. They're in pill form, which is supposedly chicken flavor, but she's not interested. Here's what we've tried:
* I splurged on pill pockets, but I don't think she likes the texture. She'll lick them, then pick them up in her mouth and spit it back out.
* I tried disguising them in cheese....no such luck.
* We hate pilling her, because it's a pain and she's really good at forcing the pill back out of her mouth (I did get one to go down this morning though). I have a piller.
* We tried disguising the pill in wet food....she ate all the wet food and ignored the pill.
I'm starting to think I need to try crushing the pill into wet food or tuna. However, I thought heard somewhere that some pills lose their effectiveness once they're crushed.
Anyone have any ideas? Could I crush them?
