Why does this sound so very familiar?

Have you had to dose Eowyn this way? How do you even get her to the vet!? =)

It's not easy. First we have to close all the doors, so she can't hide under one of the beds. Then I usually have to chase her up and down the stairs a couple of times and scruff her out from behind some piece of furniture. paleotheist is usually carrying the convertible cat carrier right behind me.

You know how you can grip their heads kinda like a baseball to control them while you're administering the medication?

You can hold their heads kinda like a baseball, but how do you hold the rest of their body and the meds? I have to squeeze the poor dude like an accordion.

Dosing him once wasn't a problem. Squeeze, pop his mouth open, meds, boom. It's that now that he knows what that means, he doesn't let me do it - he knows what the syringe is now, etc. So far, adding cut-open fish oil tablets to the tuna and meds is doing the trick, though! =)

He licked at least some of his meds out of the tuna this morning. This will be...a continuing challenge, I suppose.
