Thread: How can I give worming tablets?

I tried to give one crushed in his food and he ignored it.Nor would he take it in a piece of food. I managed to get one down him using the pill holder, but he was ready for my second attempt and it was impossible on my own. He didn't hurt me as he has no claws, but he struggled and was too strong for me. I took him round to the vet and they did it.

He is due his next dose and I will take him to the vet again, but my aim is to be able to do it myself if possible. I have always managed with my other cats, but they were smaller.

Any advice please?

Sorry, Pepsi, can't help you - both mine are on Advocate which covers worms and fleas, and you just put the fluid on the backs of their necks - nothing to ingest. I've seen that some of the forum members have had success by putting tablets inside a bit of butter but I would wait and see what others come back with before trying that.
