Giving the tablet before a meal does the same thing   ;D

When squirting water do so slowly so you dont choke them.

If you want to use Spot ons, you can actually use Stronghold and Droncit, but you need a couple of days inbetween. That way, you are also treating for fleas at the same time. I have to say I do keep forgetting water after tableting cats.

It is, especially with drugs like antirobe as its an irritant.
Much like us swallowing ibuprofen dry, you'd end up getting an ulcer.
Its also why not all drugs should be crushed in food, coatings stop irritation, slow release or need to be absorbed near the end of digestion.

Sometimes I wave the white flag and get the vet to do it ;)

I didn't know about the water or butter afterwards - looks important though  :scared:

fraid I always opt for the 'straight down the hatch' technique, although i use Milbemax rather than Drontal, as I really struggle with Drontal. You can get spot on treatments, so I might go down that route in future.

worming pipin and tiggy
« Reply #1 on: November 04, 2007, 20:40:00 PM »
It was time for them to be wormed today,

I cut a drontal worming tablet in half and wrapped both bits in ham pipin just ate hers and didnt even realise there was a tablet in there  :rofl:

Tiggy was a different matter though firstly she ate the ham and left the tablet tried again and she done the same thing so then i hid it in a blob of dairylea and she licked all that of the tablet then i squashed some normal cheese round it and she chewed the cheese and left the tablet cheeky lil sod  :rofl:

In the end i had to hold her whilst terry forced it in her mouth   :(

Anyone got any suggestions for next time?

 :thanks:
