Pill poppers

Hi,
Just wondering if anybody has used pill poppers before and if so how effective are they and where can I get one from?
I have to give my kitten the Ronidazole medication and it only comes in huge capsules which have to be given whole (so opening and sprinkling on food isn't an option).
I managed to get one into her with a lot of trouble but when I tried again this morning I got bitten hard and scratched to pieces. I have heard about the pill poppers and wondered if thats an option.
Otherwise I'll be off to the vets every night for 2 weeks!

Thanks

Re: Pill poppers

I love them now I have one.. No more trying to make sure they've eaten all their food with the tablet in.

Got ours from the vet for about £1
Definitely recommended!

I haven't use them yet but the vet I had used it on my kitten the pill went in easy try wrapping your cat in a towel that work wonders my old cat hated taking pills but I wrapped him up in his towel he was very relax and it was very easy to pop the pill in his mouth when you wrap your cat up make sure she/he is secure and all the paws tucked in but leave some space so he/she can move a little and not feels trapped.

Watch on you tube how to administer pill to animals there are some very good videos you'll soon get the hand of it. It works for me.

hope this helps

wish you luck with your baby.
