Pane, I just saw pill pockets at my vet's office and thought "What will they think of next?" Neat idea for people who have trouble giving pets their meds.

I got a laugh out of my vet when he asked if I thought I could give one of my cats some oral anti-biotics. I told him I have a rule in my house. Since I pay all the bills I get to do what ever I need to with animals. I'm a kind, caring, loving, indulgent pat mon, but by cracky if they need to take meds they will let me give it to them! With the cats I use a technigue like TheIcecreamKid's without the towel. I just pin the cat's legs with my legs and arm, pinch the corner of the jaw to get them to open their mouth and shove the pill down. I'm really quick so it's usually over before the cat knows what's happening.
Thanks for this!
