Images in this review Reviews with imagesGood Alternative to Give a Cat a PillI am using these empty gel capsules to give my elderly cat his nasty-tasting metronidazole pill, plus prednisone and cyproheptadine. These size 4 capsules are TINY (smaller than a dime; see Photo #1) and are hard to handle, but unfortunately, it's necessary because the pills need to be small for the cat.I'm able to get 1/2 of a 50mg metronidazole pill, plus EITHER 1/2 of a 5mg prednisone pill OR 1/2 of a 4mg cyproheptadine pill. I started out just putting the split pills into the capsule (left and right pills in Photo #2), but then decided to see if I could get all three meds in by crushing them all into a powder (center pill in Photo #2). I was able to get MOST, but not all of the crushed 3-pill powder in the capsule. I did try tamping the powder down, but it didn't help much.If you try to put powder in these pills, be aware that it is very difficult. The openings are tiny, and the capsules are nearly transparent when they're empty, so they're hard to see. I made a little pill holder out of cardboard to hold the pills (Photo #3), although it isn't a great solution. You can see an empty capsule on the right, and a partially-filled one on the left. Photo #4 shows the tip of a ball point pen as a reference for the size of the opening.All in all, this was a good purchase, as my cat no longer foams at the mouth from the metronidazole. And since he's (relatively) happy, then I'm happy too. No issues with quality control on the batch that I received, bought in May 2022.Thank you for your feedbackSorry, there was an errorSorry we couldn't load the review Top reviews from the United StatesThere was a problem filtering reviews right now.
