getting better...

or maybe just getting more ornery...

it's gotten a lot harder to give mewie her daily antibiotic pill. i used to wonder how many times it would take for her to spit it out before the pill would start to disintegrate... i now know that it's about 6 or 7 times, give or take a few. i am amazed at her abilities in this regard. she can spit with projectile results, she can hawk it up from halfway down her throat, she can do all this while twisting, yowling, growling, fighting and running from one side of the room to the other. however, in the end, she always takes her pill and we are both exhausted by the ordeal. we each retreat to our beds to recover. i allot half an hour in the evening for this draining, life-sucking ordeal.

there must be a better way...

Not that I can say with any certainty that this will work but you may want to try crushing it and mixing it with wet food or with a soft treat....
