The cat I’m currently sitting for needs to take a fourth of a pill daily…

      I used to have rats that had to take a fraction of a tablet of antibiotics to deal with a contagious lung infection (the smallest one needed 1/16 of a tablet!!!!) I used masking tape to section bits off on a mirror, and kept the dosing chart next to it so that it wasn’t just dust, a mirror, and a card under a tupperware tub in my kitchen, lol.

      Is that the way the vet said to do it?

      pills aren’t just convenient little nuggets for storage purposes.

      There’s a reason you swallow them whole and don’t chew them.

      By dicing them like this you’re probably fucking up the dosage.

      A pill splitter works so well and is so easy, especially if it’s a little circle. Just halve and halve again. That way your cat won’t need to snort his meds 

    4. So do you hold the rolled up 20 for it, or does it hold it between its fuzzy little paws?

    5. Get yourself a pill cutter, literally any pharmacy will have them. So much easier than the steak knife method.
