I tried three times to get the pill into the back of his mouth, but he was able to work it up to the front and spit it out.
Then I tried with my finger, twice. Got bit.
So, I did a little research "Can you crush a pill that you can split?" and yes, yes, you can.
New plan.
The article said to make sure the cat hadn't eaten. Put the crushed pill in food and let him eat. The vet warned that one of the other clients had this medication compounded and it was pretty bitter, so I'm sure the food will be bitter as well.
I will crush the pill and put it in baby food, mix it up well, draw it up into a syringe, and try to get the medication into him that way.
He doesn't understand why we're being to mean to him. It's not on purpose, baby, believe me.
