Hope everything turns out well for Daisy!
When our cat, Shadow, had a uti and we needed to get a pill into him it was a nightmare. Nothing worked. He'd find it in any food we gave him and wouldn't eat it. My daughter came up with a brilliant idea. We had a small animal syringe (ask the vet for one if you don't have one) -- no needle, just the syringe and the plunger. We crushed the pill up very well, mixed in some water, sucked it up into the syringe, then someone would firmly hold the cat by his scruff and pry his jaws open (same as if giving him a pill) but then I'd put the syringe into his mouth (as far as I could) and quickly squirt the liquid pill down his throat. 9 times out of 10 it worked. The 10th time required lots of band-aids.
Daisy is a lucky cat - I hope she has quite a bit of mileage left after this.
.Most of today will probably be finding a soft spot, curling up and snoozing.

I can never remember this stuff. Pretty sure she turned 14 in April. Barring cancer, I'd say she has 5-6 years left. Had a very LARGE black cat make it to 17 with only three legs.
The second half of the thyroid. First part came out May of 2008. Anybody have experience in figuring out how to get a cat to take a pill once a day forever?

No front claws on this cat. The doseage looks really small too, so that will help. First couple of days she has an antibiotic and the thyroid medicine, so she'll be prepared for the second one.
Then you have an easy solution. Mix with tuna juice or clam broth. Even simple chicken boullion and you will never have a problem again.The medicine is already in liquid form. Woot Woot!
