Its worth a try for others, it never fails for me. My cat is also on matacam for arthritis in a gel fluid form, I also use the pet sticks for that, I break off about 3 or 4 pieces enough to fit all the gel inbetween the splits and he takes them all no problem Just another idea for anyone struggling to give thier cat felimazole,

I can manage to get the tablets over and have mastered the knack, but no one else can. This means that when we go on holiday we have no alternative but to let her go a week without the tablets. So far this has been ok as our neighbour looks after her but she is not capable of giving the tablet. We are now going to go away for two weeks and I am not sure what to do in terms of leaving her without a tablet for two weeks. Fiona Hi My cat we think is 16 is taking Felimazole.

Maybe this is another way forward which neads to be looked at and taken forward by vets what do other think or know of this alternative treatment. Glad you posted this for others to know/think about Ranuka and look into. ?????

In the end I found an alternative herbal Canadian medicine in drop dosage into her food and homeopathy tabs crushed in her water. She had her good days and bad days. I just know I could not have put her through the terror of tablets each day and her being upset with and vomiting. She became very week and was euthanized on Tuesday, I still don't know if I did the right thing or not by changing her medication. But lets hope with the increase of hyperthyroidism in female cats friendly/stress free medication will become available.
