I said more authoritative, not more recent - I can't see anything more credible there. Anyhoo, it may not be a great cause for concern, just a caveat, based on something I'd heard from a parrot owner several years ago.g.man wrote:How about this? g.man

Yeah, that's not always easy. Pretty much had the technique down after a while but it really isn't fun when the cat is going nuts. They can't spit stuff stuff out really so the key is to get it right down the back of the throat and try to force the swallow reflex by blowing on their nose and rubbing their throat. And shouting. Using a pen casing and a thin bit of wood to push the pill out is a great help.Blue Swirl wrote:I remember trying to get my cat to take a pill. Really didn't work. 'Course, the vet does some fucking ninja shit or something and it goes straight down, no problem. I bet that takes at least half of the many years you spend in training, learning how to ninja a pill down a cat's neck.
Yes it does. What about the BA episode?Mod74 wrote:I don't think watching old Sylvester and Tweety shorts counts.Skerret wrote:She's already done preparatory research on the pros and cons of cat/bird interaction.

I might actually try sitting him in the front passenger seat. he's usually ok there, although that was prior to this current behavior. As I say, part of the problem has also been that it's been car every day. he's used to proper walks most days, with driving down only on days when I'm short of time/it's raining/or in this case he's injured.
