This little ditty is sung to the turn of the Witch is Dead song in Wizard Of Oz
Ding dong the pill popper is dead...
which old pill popper, this old pill popper
Yes Dead I said.
Can you get that thru your head?
I'm over the moon no more will I moan.
No more head locks or groans from me will you hear
that is clear.
I guess you are all wondering what miracle happened.
The other day our friend Mad Snapper aka MS sent mom an email
that she rec'd from another blogger with suggestions about pilling a cat for
MS's son's cat. MS said you probably already know that but I thought I'd share.
MS said her friend suggested that MS's son put the pill in baby food.
Well we had heard baby food was tasty to kitties who would not eat...but
I E A T A LOT
The last few nights I have been a bear when it comes to my pilling. So mom bought 2 jars of
Gerber's baby food one beef and one turkey with no extra flavors or spices.
My Cerenia and pepcid both taste yucky so mom could not sprinkle them over my regular food
like she does the phosphorus binder.
BUT lo and behold she crushed them both and one at a time she mixed the
crushed pill into the tasty YUMMY beef baby food.
She said I almost licked the silver off the spoon!! WooHoo
we both say a great big thank you for sharing!!
It's fantastic when bloggers can help out! Not only do you get the benefit of the pills, but you get some great tasting snacks!
ReplyDeletebaby food is da best thing to hide pills and it is the magic potion what can do any trick ;o)))
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! Maybe my human will try that with Binga next time she needs pilling. (She can be a pill about it, pun intended.)
ReplyDeleteYeaaa ! Mom will have to remember this one in case we need it someday.

ReplyDeleteYipee!!! A double good day - pill popper is DEAD and you get baby food! My vet uses baby food to distract our dogs while she does her poking a prodding. Dogs love those simple baby food formulas too!
ReplyDeleteWOOOOOHOOOOOO! What delightful news Miss Madi!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGood for you Madi!
ReplyDeleteand I have not yet tasted Baby food. There is a jar in the cupboard though, Mommy bought it last year to see if she could get Nellie to take her pills with Baby food. Purrhaps she will get it out and let me try it.
