Yeah, we tried; didnt work so well. I still gots the scarrsLol, yeah, I would not survive a week of doing that twice a day due to blood loss.Instead of crushing the pills.....you could always poke them down their throat. Just be sure to dress like the 'Michelin Man' & hold the cat firmly. Then slip the pill into their mouth at the back where the lips meet & using your finger follow the pill just past the gag point and then rub the throat to encourage the swallow reflex. It's how I've given any of our pets pills. And sometimes the cats take 2 or 3 people to accomplish this.
well, nevermind maybe crushing it into their favorite food IS easier......
Not only that, but after about the second time....they will never trust you again & you'll have to chase them down to do it......making blood loss an even bigger problem
