TGIF! So happy it's Friday, almost days off for the weekend :-D I feel like I haven't slept or spent quality time with Chyna in forever! She didn't eat her PM+6.5 last night and only ate half the +8.5 so less appetite than usual but will give her an extra meal today to make up calories in case she needs them.

We started the Jarrow B-Right vitamin last night, I hope I measured it right, into 10 little piles so she got 1/10 in 1/3 of a pill pocket (the duck/pea one divided into two balls, she ate them but last time we tried that flavor pill pocket she ate it and then refused it the next day). I'm going to look for empty capsules to put it in and wrap the pill pocket around. I was reading some people do it 2-3 times a day (the 1/10 divided up) but I'm not sure if I can do it more than twice...if she'll even continue eating the pill pocket. Is it ok to give once a day? Right now I have the leftover 9 piles of powder on a plate covered with plastic wrap, lol. I didn't know what else to do with the leftover? Any advice on how to give it other than capsules and/or pill pockets? I may have to try other flavors of pill pockets and I hope that won't give her too many carbs. She is impossible to pill...and it seems bitter so I didn't want to mix in food to give her the idea her food tastes bad and end up having her not eat her food:(

Well Chyna seems to be feeling ok, poo last night, mad at me for going to work today but still gave some love to me :mrgreen: . Yesterday: Chyna 3/21 Have a happy Friday!

I came over here to read about the pilling advice...I hope you find something that works well!

Congratulations on Day 5 and a beautiful ambg.

I can't give advice on the pilling. I can't manage it with my civvie at all and Angie is pretty hard too. I mix pills with strong tasting food like kangaroo or salmon, or even normal cat food with some water that's had salmon soaking in it. Salmon wouldn't be good for her if you had to do it so frequently though.

Thanks for the condo visit the day before yesterday. :-D

Re: 3/22 Chyna PMBG 85 Trial Day 5 Pilling Vit.B?

Hi Rachel and yay for day five!

Gus, who will eat anything, did not like the B Right in his food. You also have her on methyl B 12 right? Because they work in combo to slow down the progression to anemia. What I do is put half the daily dose of B12 and B Right in a #3 gel cap that I get from thrivingpets.com. Then I wrap the gel cap in a pill pocket and down the hatch because Gus loves the pill pockets. I think it is better to give it in two doses. Sorry.......
 
Hi Marje, yes, I am currently giving methylcobalamin 0.5mg daily (mixed with water in her food and she doesn't mind but I think it's flavorless), but I see others seem to do 0.25mg daily? Now that I have the Jarrow B-Right I will cut the methyl in half I guess. I tasted the B-Right last night, and I wouldn't like it mixed in my food either, very bitter :? Does Gus just eat the pocket himself?

That isn't a big deal to do 2 doses :lol: I just need the capsules...the place with flavored ones for pets wanted over $36 to ship to Canada and I just can't afford that on top of the $24 for capsules:( Thrivingpets.com wouldn't give me an online shipping cost, it said to call their number and I haven't had time. Our health food store has the #0 ones only, I'll have to check the other health food store in town. I did read someone was opening those bigger ones and cutting them to make them smaller...

Thanks for the condo visits/advice today, still wearing green:)
 
The #3 gel caps are alot smaller than the #0 and they are easy to wrap in 1/2 of a kitty pill pocket. Yes..he gobbles them down :-D he gets .25mg twice a day....so, yes, .5mg/day.

Do you have a compounding pharmacy? If Indidnt order from thriving pets, I'd have to buy them at the compounding pharmacy. Even in a city as large as Tucson, it's the only place that carries them.
 
I don't know what that is, a compounding pharmacy...most likely we don't have one, our city is only around 60,000. Maybe I'll just ask one of the pharmacists at a drug store if they know. Hmm well she just ate the Jarrow B-Right powder wrapped in a pea sized pocket...so maybe we'll be ok. But she IS a cat, so will probably change her mind tomorrow :lol:
 
Happy Day 5, Chyna!​
