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.

So Sorry no answer just wish we had not out our puss through all that and still convinced the pills made the condition worse but thats our families opinion not a medical one. good luck and fingers crossed for you and your cat. Irene Stanbrough Hi Sheena
Out Cat was exactly the same and we had to wrap him in a blanket bag to stop him escaping but that incurred stress so much so that he drooled had palpitations and we to thought he would have a heart attack to our neighbour put the pill in soft flavoured garlic cheese for his cat and that worked but not on our Prince and also butter on the tip of his finger with the pill inside I think but cats intuition out smarts us humans so we were never lucky to get the pill down without the bag and holding his jaws/mouth open it was a nightmare so feel for you.
So Sorry no answer just wish we had not out our puss through all that and still convinced the pills made the condition worse but thats our families opinion not a medical one.
good luck and fingers crossed for you and your cat.

The straight down the throat option is totally ruled out - to the point I'm scared she'll give herself a heart attack! No matter what tasty treat it's added to prior to meal time, she manages to 'spit' it out! Can the manufacturers not flavour them with yeast or something cats adore?

Princes MUM XX ps we were the first to blog some years ago maybe you read about our disaster with Felimazole To Jenny
