IME, cats often will take a pill a certain way, and then stop :) So leaving a list of things to try for someone would probably be helpful!
Ah... noted.
You might try sticking the pill in a dollop of wet food *without* crushing -- sometimes they'll just suck it down!
That's what ayalanya tried last night, which appeared to work. I figured - apparently inaccurately - that it'd be easier to notice when not crushed up.
People food is the next thing I try, if this stops working.
Liquid meds also have helped me with various cats -- it's easier to squirt down the throat than to pill, sometimes, although it depends on the cat!
Yep. Had that thought; depending on how the next 1.5 weeks go, I may ask my vet about that option.
