Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2005Flavor Rx
I ran across this looking up something for another group - they now have flavorings to mix with meds, for your pets! :D This might be an answer for whomever wanted to flavor water (Catnipped?)... http://www.flavorx.com/ -L. > http://www.flavorx.com/ Following up my own post (I know - my bad!) Here are the flavors (below). I got a kick out of "Mom's Banana Bread." They should have a "cantalope" flavor for my Peewee. ;) -L.

I just got in the mail a backordered item that I ordered a while ago for Scarlett; Tabby Tabs Liquid vitamins. She took so long to "thrive" and was so picky about food I thought she would do better with a supplement that has taurine in it. I thought it smelled funny - not medicinal funny, but sort of like the malted scent of hairball remedies and thought she wouldn't eat food if that was in it. But, she actually likes it and the Tabby Tabs make sort of a gravy.  SignatureCheryl > On Wed 02 Mar 2005 02:40:09a, L.

I probably need to look for those for Peewus - he's getting a bit scroungy in his old age. -L. >I ran across this looking up something for another group - they now > have flavorings to mix with meds, for your pets! :D This might be an [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > -L. Yes! My Bandit is starting to have kidney problems and I've even considered buying tons of tuna just to give her the water from the cans, but that's *SO* expensive. I'll have to give this a try, thanks! Hugs, CatNipped We have at least one pharmacy here that will do this, either for hoomin or pet meds. Katz > We have at least one pharmacy here that will do this, either for > hoomin or pet meds. > > Katz Yeah, when I had to give Persia some pills after her bladder surgery I was terrified of trying to pill her. I asked if it came in liquid form. No, but the vet told me about a pharmacy where they would crush the pills up in proper dosage and mix it with liquid flavours like beef or chicken that I could add to her food. Of course I didn't have the extra money to spend on that so I quickly figured out how to pill her (with help from the good people here). But the liquid flavour enhancers sound like a good idea.

They will formulate it specially for you with the active ingredients prescribed by your vet, but in a vehicle your pet will accept. SignatureVictor M.

When Ming came from the shelter he had an active case of ringworm. Because it was all over his face (around his eyes and in his ears and nose), the vet didn't think we could treat it topically, so Ming got a 6 week course of tuna-flavored ringworm medicine. For a short course of antibiotics, it's probably not worth it, but 6-12 weeks is what they first thought to clear up the ringworm, and trying to force bubble-gum or cherry flavored liquid into a cat twice a day for that length of time was not something I was looking forward to- the twice a week baths were bad enough. He took the tuna flavored stuff quite well.

It appears to have been a one-time thing. Ming had it when I got him from the shelter, but I got him to the vet the next day and started him on the regimen. I picked up 3 little spots on my arm- each about the size of a pencil eraser. Boris (the d*g), ended up with one little spot on his muzzle. I treated Boris and I with topical fungicides, and Ming with medicated shampoo and oral medicines. When we got Buttercup 6 weeks later, she never showed even a single lesion, and there's been no recurrance. It's now been over a year, so I think we're safe. All in all, considering the horror stories I've heard about treating ringworm, it was no big deal. Ming tolerated the baths with a resigned good nature. He didn't like them, but he didn't try to rip my arm off, either- he just lay there with that "why are you doing this" look on his face. I did vacuum the house more frequently, and I put sheets and towels over everything that Ming slept on (changed those daily and washed them with bleach), but otherwise, it wasn't that big of a problem to clear up.

I wrote to them asking for the ingredient and nutrient list. From their "locate us" page, my vet sells it, or uses it to compound meds, but I also asked if their product is available to consumers, or just vets and pharmacists. SignatureCheryl
