CK2 28 Jan 6:14am, 28 Jan 2024 2,593 posts	0 CK2 What is your experience of giving a pill to a cat. HK was eventually successful yesterday. I feared losing a finger! I can’t face doing this daily. Giving her the inhaler is bad enough!

CK2 28 Jan 9:14am, 28 Jan 2024 2,595 posts	0 CK2 We’re looking at pill pockets now as she’s likely to learn how to avoid the manual method, and was pretty good to begin with. We started by grinding into Dreamy licks but she was wise to that straight away!
