So giving my cat benadryl is becoming a pain. She gets half a tablet and it lasts her the entire day. She WILL NOT eat it in food (it's extremely bitter if ground up!) and she WILL spit it out if it's whole inside food/treats.
Also she has developed a sad/terrible defensive habit of thrashing and salivating like a wild rabid animal from me giving it to her by force.. gently, of course, as one can be by cramming a pill down an animal's throat for their own good. Because otherwise, she is itchy and miserable and this is the only thing (other than her medicated shampoo) that keeps her sane and to not mutilate herself by excessive scratching.
I don't get out often (no car, boo) so usually things that aren't needed immediately is stuff I tend to order online. Can anyone recommend a pet piller they use and can vouch for quality-wise? It will be used daily, so I will need something that can last me a while. I just really want/need it to minimize the stress of giving her meds, because I feel that if this keeps going, she will end up avoiding me altogether. D:
Also I'm not sure if there are different sizes, but she is about 8ish pounds if that makes any difference.

She is wary of tiny food bits and putting it in a full meal will have her just eat around it, so instead of wasting food/medicine in an attempt to trick her into eating her meds, I feel a piller will be the best choice for both of us. I earned a bandaid today after giving her a dose and got my finger bit (BY ACCIDENT!) in the brief struggle.
