Suki. Diary of a cat with hyperthyroidism.

So, a week in from the first diagnosis and I would say my pill giving technique needs some improvement.

A combination of me still learning and Suki being wise to all the tricks.

''Just mix it in with her food''  the vet said.

Ha!!! Suki just nibbles around it.

''Coat it with something sticky, like cream cheese, and the cat won't notice it''  said the forum post.

Well, notice it she did!

So for now we're perservering with the pill-down-the-throat technique.

And eight times out of ten I'm sure it goes down.

Although today, after Suki dutifully made all the swallowing actions, I later discovered it on the outside mat.

We're getting there, but she's upset with me today, and hiding under the raspberry canes.

And I feel suitably guilty.
