[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 592313, member: 1233"] She is very smart. Smart enough for you to tell her that you know she doesn't like it but it has to happen and it will happen and then you have to make ti happen. The making it happen is hard, just like making 'no' happen with a toddler is hard. In time they learn that you mean it and nothing else can/will happen until it (whatever 'it' is) happens. we had a cat like this and I refused to chase him to give him medications. Flat out, not one time did I chase him. I made him come to me. No food refills until he got his medications, period. Had a screaming fit at my dad for going against me and made him do 3 days of medications and it taught both Dad and Cat that it would be my way or they would not like life at. all. I know it is hard, but it works. ii was fifteen then, and it has worked for some very wily cats since. do you explain what you are doing and WHY to Maggie? Before you do it? Our vet looks at me like a freak, but it works with every animal we have had or my folks have had that thy needed help wtih. It makes a big difference. I am glad he gave pills. When/if it happens again, push for diflucan if you can afford it. One pill works for a week. Most people ins will give one a month but sometimes you need to take one a day for a week or so to really kill it off. Keep track of the medication names and how they work because this is likely to be a long time problem. I do find that using a better quality food makes a huge difference with yeast infections. I am sorry it is so hard to give her medications. Skipping the treat to hide the pill is a good thing,it keeps her trust in you. Hide too many things before you have trust and ti may always be hard to help her when she is sick. If she was a cat I would say to crush it and make a paste of ti and wipe it on her paws. Or side.
