Chester II has lung issues. He seemed to be better on an injectable anti-biotic, but his x-rays were worse. So now he is on a different anti-biotic, which is in pill form, and needs to be administered twice a day. We failed for a couple of days until we found some You tube videos by a vet. The winning combination is to sit the cat on a table, have one person hold them. Hold the cat by the scruff of the neck, it releases endorphins and discourages the cat from struggling. Use a "pill shooter" and follow up quickly with a syringe with water, it encourages the cat to actually swallow. Blowing on his face or rubbing his throat helps, too.
