Elsie - pill taking challenge

So far we have not been able to feed Elsie her medication (1.5 blue tablet pills), this is becoming more critical as the days go by, and Elsie is not being treated with her medication.


Today I've started searching on the web for videos regarding ways of feeding a pill to a cat, and besides the usual "covering the pill with food", I found some very helpful ways.




  Although the video makes it look very easy, our Elsie decided not to conform to the video's vet's round set of knowledge.


   We also try to find a pill popper, but they don't seem to be sold at stores, and I ended up finding one at a 24 hour emergency animal hospital, where I was denied to purchase one because our cat was not one of their patients - hmmmm what's wrong with their business model?


   In any case, our vet is going to provide Elsie with an alternative medication - the poor girl is urinating blood, I really hope she is not in pain...
