I used to have a maine coon named Momo. He was a stray and had FIV so he was on steroids constantly. I couldn't have him neutered or declawed bc the vet was afraid his immune system wasn't strong enough to make it through the surgery. If anyone has a maine coon you can attest to the strength of their paws and how ginormous those claws are. So I had to wrap him completely in a towel and strattle him (he weighed 23 lbs) and pull on the back of his neck to shove them down his throat. I always felt so bad but those pills were the only reason I kept him alive for over a year. The vet told me he only had 6 weeks to live when I found him. But yeah, it was a fiasco.
