Do you know how to give a cat %26amp; dog a pill?
I want to be your agent and get you gigs at comedy clubs. Seriously!
Reply:I have a cat %26amp; a dog now! Have always had animals. Have had to give pills to a lot of them. This was just too funny. Thanks and thank your friend. Report Abuse
Reply:Ha ha that's funny...well you can buy this thingy at the store that you simply put the pill in and stick it in the back of their throat. Otherwise open their mouth, using your finger gently push the pill to the back of their throat.
Reply:Thanks for the humorous start to my day. That was neat. I still like cats though. But, they are "independent" creatures! The "trick" is---after you get the pill into their mouth, you blow into their face.
Reply:That is funny , but so true. Usually, dogs are a lot easier to give a pill to than cats! Thanks!
Reply:LOL!!! Funny! Thanks for the laugh of the day.
Reply:I've read this before- and it's so true! I'd rather pill 100 dogs in one day than have to pill one cat.
Reply:this is a scream
Reply:Hilarious, Wiz, and so true! When I wrap Jedi's pill in bacon, she snatches it....eats the bacon and spits out the pill. So I have to use the "cat procedure," get an armhold around her neck and try to pry her mouth open. Jedi's jaws are made of steel. It takes a tremendous amount of strength to pry her mouth open and pop in the pill. Then, if you don't toss it down her gullet far enough, she simply spits it out, so my floor is littered with half dissolved, gummy pills.



I shall save your hysterical description of medicating a cat and send it to friends. We're an army of cat and doglovers around here and always need a good laugh! Thanks!
Reply:I give my cat her thyroid meds two times a day, I just sit her down, open her mouth from the back of the jaw and put it at the back of her throat. And I give my dog his pills with peanut butter. Stick the pill in it and waalaa, he eats the peanut butter and the pill and never even knew he got the pill
Reply:Lol, yes - it's called the cat rodeo !

Actually the pill giving syringe is quite good although you still need an unsuspecting helper with a thick towel to hold the cat down. Note- it has to be a thick towel as an irate cat can shred cloth in a microsecond.

Also I do have one that managed to bite the end off the pill giver, shred a dressing gown, claw the holder in the face with some airborne ninja kick run halfway down the garden and THEN spit out the end of the syringe and pill.

Took 3 days to get near that cat again and my assistant quit.
Reply:ha ha i went through something very similar the other day, i've got scratches everywhere...and then after i thought i finally won, the darn cat vomited it all up on the floor....i'm getting an injection next time.
Reply:I had a time giving my elderly German Shepherd meds. I mixed them in peanut butter, wrapped them in cheese,, stuck them in between chichen and so on and so on. He got 3/4 of the med he was supposed to have and i gave up. I decided, maybe he knew something I didnt.
