    I can't answer for pets, but I know humans have to take insulin injections because of stomach acid, and I would ASSUME animals would be the same.

    Stressed out since I fly out tomorrow, got my bags packed, back is allowing some relief after several beers and a long Epsom salt soak, just nervous since this is a different approach to trucking for me. I've always been the "make less, but have security" type. Now if I fail, it's on me.

    They don't recommend that. Oral meds are impossible with her. If you put them in the food, they just pick through them.

    Orange Kat wouldn't of cared if you set his tail on fire. Kitty was ok with this kind of stuff too. The OM is a whole different story.

    Yeah getting a cat to eat a pill on its own is near impossible... Best luck I had was to give the pill with a pill gun... It looks kinda like a tampon applicator, but much smaller... Pull the plunger back, push the pill past the retaining fingers, work the end into the back of the animals mouth, and push the plunger. When done correctly the pill is placed so that it triggers the animals swallow reflex. Its a PITA to do with cats, dogs aren't much better... Livestock animals though its a piece of cake... Obviously larger animals require a larger pill gun... And usually larger pills.

    I'd never seen that footage. I'm guessing it was the trooper that survived?

    Arkansas Trooper's 109-MPH PIT Maneuver Goes Very Wrong in Deadly Crash
    From the linked article ....... "
    It starts to roll violently as it digs into the soft dirt of a roadside ditch—then the mechanical maelstrom hits a culvert while still traveling above 60 mph, crushing the truck's cabin and launching the Charger a good 20 feet into the air.

    "Ok he's got him stopped and... go ahead and start EMS," the follow-up trooper radios in at the end. Battenfield died in the crash. Trooper Ellis was hospitalized with "non-life-threatening" injuries."
