Hi to u all!
I really love pets and I’ve being interested in animal all my life !
I have 2 dogs : T-bone & Rex and a cat for the last 2 years who’s name is Robert. lately Robert has been having worms, (is it possible that he got it from the neighbor’s dog or other dogs and cats???)
I want to the vet and he gave me some de-worming pills for him. I tried to crumble the tablet into his food but he notice it right away.
I tried wrapping it with some sausage but he refuse to swallow it .
I even tried using force but Robert kept scratching and twirling!!!
what can I do ??

You can also crush the tablet and mix it in water. Using a syringe you give the cat the tablet slowly so you don't choke him, similar to giving the paste. You do still need to hold the cat still. If he doesn't use his claws, I sit them between my legs also. If he tends to claw, wrap him in a towel, or get the vet to show you how to do this. I have fun with the Advantage lol. They see the syringe and the games of chasey begin. Girls are the worst. You'd think I was going to hurt them. Sweethearts.
