Hi linke79 how did the vet visit go?

Did you have the vet check her teeth to make sure she doesn't have a cavity or otherwise damaged tooth as those can make cats reluctant to eat.

Did you have full blood & urine panels done to rule out kidney failure?

Some info on HyperT meds here: http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Con...&S=0&C=0&A=510

And a thread with more information here: http://www.pets.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=60971

As for actually giving the meds, I have the easiest cat in the world to pill , you can try rolling the pill in a teensy amount of butter, wrapping it in cheese or meat, dabbing a tiny amount on her mouth so she realizes what you've got is tasty then try pilling her or offering it as a treat.

Another option is to crush the pill & mix it into a teaspoon of food or 1/4 teaspoon yoghurt, get her to eat that first then feed her the rest of her meal.
