Mickey (12 years) was diagnosed last March with heart failure. Long story, but it was found kind of by accident, and not very far advanced.
He was put on 3 medications, and has done extremely well, gained weight, no sign of kidney issues (from meds).
In the beginning, he took his little pills in Greenies pill pockets. Doesn't like chicken, but the salmon is acceptable. Pilling him myself stressed both of us terribly.
Problem: he is growing tired of the pill pockets, and sometimes refuses them, even when I mask them with a couple other treats. It's really annoying that there are only two flavors for cats. Where is turkey? Beef? Are there any similar products out there - or do the folks at Greenies have a corner on the market?
Does anyone have any tips or tricks that have been successful with getting pills in cats, aside from manually pilling them?
