Improperly Clever Cat
Jun. 20th, 2017 09:36 amI have noticed twice in two days half of a cat thyroid pill, showing signs of having been wet but now dry, on the basement floor.
The first time was last night, right after I gave Michael his evening dose. The other was this morning. A few days ago I found an entire, dry pill (his morning dose) in the dry food bowl!
After last night I've been checking his mouth to make sure he actually gets the pill or half-pill down. I think he's learned to fake swallowing.
This may be why he's so gaunt. His hormone level was still a little high the last time the vet checked, which is why the vet had me add the half-pill in the evening.
