de-worming

[Whaler]

i tried to put the crushed dontral in his food but after a couple of bites he was on to my ploy and just sat there staring at me, refusing to eat any more. i tried putting it in his food since i would need him to eat three pill pockets, i can't get more than a half pill into a pocket.

well, pill pockets seem to be the magic i needed. after the failure of getting him to eat it after putting it in the food there was no problem getting him to gobble the pockets and get his meds. i just hope that in two weeks when i am trying to give him his next round it goes just a smooth.

That's awesome - hooray for pill pockets and a great big thumbs up or fist bump or whatever it is my kids are doing these days when thing rock out so well!

When I was a kid in the early eighties there was a group of cats I cared for outside. They were technically my stepsisters but since they weren't allowed in the house, and I was only around on weekends I worried about them alot in Chicago's winters - hence we built a cat house - not suggesting this just getting to a potentially worthwhile thought the long way around. foam board - I like the extruded 2 inch thick home insulation type that comes in 4 X 8 foot sheets is awesome stuff. easy to glue and carve - cheap and we use to build insulated food holders out of them to keep the water up off the ground so it would take longer to freeze - kind of like if you had enough snow to plop the bowls down in the water wouldn't freeze but on the ground - straight up ice cubes in a short time. Anyway just an idea if you need a non electric inexpensive insulated feeder sort of thing - shoot you could go all out and microwave a disposable gel pack to stick underneath to get some extra hours out of it - never mind I think I just took a simple kind deed way to far out into project land.

congrats on getting the drontal in - it does work really well on the tapeworms - nasty things that they are.
