Tips on Swallowing...
...tablets! tut tut!
Ok here is the score. I am rubbish at taking tablets and normally i just chew them (regardless of the foul taste). Alas i have tablets that are capsules and there is strict instructions not to chew.
so i need some tips on how to swallow tablets. I expect Dolly may well have the best tips (only joking of course )

Try this
Have your glass of water (booze, coke, tea, whatever) ready. Cup the tabs in your hand. Almost throw the tabs to the back of your mouth, trying to get them as far back as you can. Quickly but carefully take a swig of your chosen beverage. Swallow tabs at same time as liquid.

oh, i am a disaster too at swallowing stuff too. (pills mostly)
i just can't swallow something before i chew on it.
so what i did, was take a piece of bread / cookie / chimpanzee, whichever you prefer really. and chew on it.. putting the pill in your mouth after chewing.. or before, but be careful not to chew it.. you get the point.
and then swallow the whole thingamabob.

Actually, I do have the best tip for this, presuming you like banana's?
Take a bite-sized piece, push the tablet right into the middle of it and swallow - voila
Will probably work with other similar-textured foods too...
I also know the best way to give tablets to a cat if u need to.

Firstly as far as I know its biologically impossible...
Secondly I would have given birth at the tender age of 4 months.
That means I would have concieved in my mothers whomb, which is where I will stop cos I am making myself gag here....
Swallowing tablets suck, genius idea from Ms Dagger, although all I would say is make sure your throat isnt dry cos theres nothing worse than it sticking in your throat

Ok well cats have gaps in their teeth either side of the front of their mouths. You need to hold your cat firmly on your lap. Then you just pop the tablet into their mouth through the side gap and hold their mouth shut. In their panic they swallow the tablet. Sounds cruel but my vet told me that! Or if you have a greedy bugger, do like my banana trick & insert the tablet into a chunk of cat food. Just give him a little serving & he'll usually eat it without knowingjiggyiggy wrote:Oh yes plz Dolly... my cats are a pain in the ass with taking tablets!Dollydagger wrote:
