It’s bread-balls for Cleo today

Cleo has border-line high blood pressure so she has to be on Amlodipine for life. Her dosage is just a tiny fragment of the tablet.

Very tiny.

But Cleo cannot be pilled, no matter how tiny the pill is.

So I have to figure out a few creative ways to feed her the tiny fragment on a daily basis.

On the first day, I put the tablet together with some Orozyme paste which she likes. It wasn’t exactly a smooth process as she could feel the tablet. On the second day, I crushed the tablet and mixed it with some Nutriplus Gel. She doesn’t really like Nutriplus Gel either.

Today, I wrapped the tiny tablet with bread.

Yes, it’s the classic bread-balls again!

I had a “decoy” bread-ball (without the tablet) and one with the tablet. I offered the decoy first, which she ate very happily (Cleo loves bread) then I placed the real one (with the tablet wrapped inside), with as much nonchalance as I could muster.

She ate it!!

Didn’t suspect a thing!

Lucky me.

Then, I did not give her anymore bread.

Maybe I’ll try the same method tomorrow….until it ceases to work. Then, I’ll think of something else.
