I found a pureed cat treat that my geriatric cat loved. I started washing his pill down with that
Now he hates that cat treat because he associates it with taking the pill
Wrap it in a small bit of american cheese, then cover that in butter. Yes, dairy is not good for cats, but tiny bits (as a treat) can be worth it to get the meds in.
Also, there are compounding pet pharmacies that can mix your cat’s medicine into a chewy treat in your choice of flavors. Don’t know where you live, but: https://bravacare.com/ggvcp/
My lions are more picky than most. I’ll ask Ashurbanipal if there’s a vet in Nineveh than can help out.
I just visited this exhibit earlier today! They really knew how to manhandle lions back then.
I’m very jealous! I’d love to see that in person!
