Well, there's always gross people food. Like canned hash, something like that. Some of cats like the pill pockets, and i really didn't think they would.

db- My Fragile will do that.Refuse the food or chew around the pill & spit it out. The only 3 things that work for her are a chunk of velveeta cheese [really sticks to the pill] or a meatball or piece of hot dog.

db, I am sure you know that being put under binds them up at least it does cats, Topaz also did not have a bowel movement for 15 days when she had her back trauma?  ? The vet was concerned at first but then decided as long as she wasn't straining to let nature take its course, he figured no active from being confined to a crate, along with eating less and the trauma of the whole event she had a reason to not go. I finally gave her a little canned pumpkin and that did the trick. |

Well he is getting some pro-biotics, took his pills with lots of baloney,(yuchh), did spit one out. Must follow procedure with him, I wasn't quick enough with the second pill. First: give dog small piece of baloney Second: give dog pill wrapped in baloney Third: (the most important part) IMMEDIATELY give dog follow up piece of baloney to get the pill down. sheesh missed the follow up on the second pill  Incision looks OK, little red, still swollen, looks OK for the second day. He has been sleeping most of the day, drinks lots of water, which is good. Hasn't pooped yet, and yes I know the drugs will back them up. I will see if we have some pumpkin, although he probably won't eat it, UNLESS it has some baloney in it db |

I used to think that anyone doing anything weird was weird. I suddenly realized that anyone doing anything weird wasn't weird at all and it was the people saying they were weird that were weird.

db,
your play by play of pilling Lakota is a riot.
I didn't think Topaz would touch the pumpkin either ICK
but I mixed it with her canned salmon and looked grossy and smelled worse and she liked it clean, and let me tell you Topaz is a snoop. LOL
Nothing to loose by trying makes ure it is plain old canned pumpkin though not pie mix stuff.
Lorie

A poop by pill account, just as we like it! That's a big incision, must have been a big lump, poor dog. Did it just show up & grow really fast, db? He's a stunning animal, isn't he.

 Good boy Lakota! He does look really good, with everything he has been through. As far as the pills go gotta go with what works, each one of these guys are different, I tried crushing his and putting them in RC food, he ate just fine but then sat at the kitchen sink looking at me as if to say "ok I am ready for my pill"  kathy
