    As someone currently having to medicate a cat 3 times a day. Dogs are definitely easier.

    When my pupper had to have knee surgery, I could pretty much get her to take the pills raw if I had the right level of enthusiasm.

    My little black and white ball of fury on the other hand? We’ve tried pill pockets, crushing the pills into food, treats etc… nothing worked.

    To cut a long story short, my kitchen now looks like something out of a drug den. There’s a pestle and mortar with this pink antibiotic stain from crushing the pills, the dust of which is poured into boiling water (to dissolve) and allowed to cool; thus allowing me to use a syringe to inject the drugs straight onto his tongue.

    Edit: water syringe, not needle
