Poor kitten, and MB too. One suggestion with Purdy's meds, if they're pills: smear them with a bit of butter so they'll slide down more easily.

Getting the pills down her has been a major problem, but what I came up with was cutting the heads off little dried fish (anchovies, I think) that she adores. These provide a neat pocket to slide the meds in, as the dosage is only a third of a half tablet each time (they don't have cat sized meds here ::) ). She's been taking these really well, but has to be monitored closely in case the tablet drops out during the chewing process. It's only recently we've had trouble getting them down her, as I think her sense of smell has deteriorated somewhat. She only seems to show interest in them now if they're present en masse rather than singly.
P.S. No fish were harmed or suffered during this process as they were dead anyway.
