It is a long stick-like thing with a soft rubber tip where you can stick in a pill. Then you push the end and it pushes the pill into the kitties throat. It doesn't really shoot the pill, but it gets wayyyy back there. It is nice because there is no struggle--it is long enough to get to the back of their throats. <br /><br />Believe me, this works like a dream. Grace had to take pills for 8 weeks straight and we didn't mess up once. Every pill went right down. Good luck!Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042143254001890567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961823029490854494.post-65939463235182129722011-12-30T23:00:39.249+01:002011-12-30T23:00:39.249+01:00We have to wrap the cat in a towel or folded sheet...We have to wrap the cat in a towel or folded sheet to control the legs that lash out and scratch. They always spit the pill out just when you think you have had success. Last night I put the pill in a teaspoon of water and tipped it down Big Guy's throat. He was just diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and will need 1/2 a pill twice a day. This morning we crushed it into his canned food and thank God, he ate it. Can't imagine that struggle twice a day. Two of our other cats are diabetic and get two shots a day. Ain't old age great for cats as well as people! Our fourth cat is 18!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533958204266882852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961823029490854494.post-79078551064373066442011-11-29T11:15:31.599+01:002011-11-29T11:15:31.599+01:00Been there, done that--this is the best summary I&...Been there, done that--this is the best summary I've seen though!!
