: I took Winston, my cat to a new vet on Friday, I told her all about what the previous vet (whom I might add she forbade me from ever seeing again) had said, so obviously she had done all of the necessary tests and the results are: (drum roll please) My cat is not dying, He has a urinary tract infection, some constipation, a case of the hairballs, and an aquired food allergy. So needless to say she has given me medicine for him (in which if anyone has any tricks for giving cats pills they would be greatly appriciated - LOL) and had me change his diet and all of his "symptoms" are now gone. Thank soooo much for all of your prayers!
Pills for cats --
Open their mouth, drop the pill very far back into their throat, close their mouth, hold it shut, pet their throats. Wait until you feel them swallow, then let go. The first couple times, they will argue with you, but after a few times, they will catch on, and although they might not be happy about it, they will learn to just take the pill.
With Love,
Bob
