Haha. Very clever indeed.This is not an original idea, but it works for getting a skittish cat to take her pill without freaking out. I made tuna water by bringing a can of tuna and a cup of water to a boil and straining. I offer her about a tablespoon of it after pilling and she loves it, it helps her forget the trauma of being pilled and so far she hasn't started running away from the evil pill lady every time I move in her general direction - so far ha ha .
I agree that the procedures for Vivian are somewhat invasive and risky, namely the anesthesia. If the DD does not work, try giving another food a shot. Of course, a food trial should be given a chance (not sure how many weeks your vet recommended). IBD is rough.
Poor little Willis. He's probably traumatized by the DD chasers! Generally speaking, I'm not sure how well cats can tolerate doxy. I know that it's hard on humans. So, it's probably hard on cats too, especially cats with sensitive tummies.
I hope your babies get better soon.
