Hi Kelly,

The rest of her life? That's a long time!

I'm wondering if your pharmacy can compound a flavor into it. If they
can't, there are some pharmacies (I used to know of one in Arizona) that
will compound pet medicine.

If that doesn't work out, could you dilute it with water so it's not
such a big hit of taste? You'd probably want to ask the vet or pharmacy
if that affects the medicine at all.

Good luck!

Here's something you can try; it's been working perfectly for me this
last week, and I'm battling a very large, strong cat. (WTF is wrong
with Pfizer, making bubble gum flavor antibiotic liquid and repackaging
it for cats???)

I go up behind Jack with a bath towel and lay it across his back (he's
either standing or lying). I bring each side around his neck, like I'm
making a cape. Then I pick him up underneath, kind of tucking it all
around him, and very quickly, once I have him in my arms, I wrap the
towel around him, making sure to get his front arms inside. His head
pokes out, and he can't fight. It's like he's in a baby bunting, and
then I cradle him in my left arm and use that hand to grab his mouth,
and use my right arm/hand to squirt. He gets two squirts, and then we
move on to the eye drops.

Twice a day, and since I started this, I haven't spilled a drop. Oh,
and as I squirt in his mouth, I massage under his chin so that he
swallows. then I pet him and tell him he's a good boy, etc. and repeat.

The towel trick takes a few times to get used to it, but now I do it in
a second and before he knows it, it's all over.

Not that I've had tons of experience with this (thank gawd), but I've found
pilling a cat is easier than giving them liquid meds.  Can the liquid be put
into gelatin capsules?  Then it's just a matter of buttering up the capsule,
popping it as far back in the throat as possible, then holding their mouth
shut and blowing in their nose.
