My cat has a hard time swallowing her vitamins and medications. Are there
LUBRICATED SUPPOSITORIES I can get from the vet. I am to embarrassed to ask
him that's why im asking here.

I think rectal absorption in cats is supposed to be not brilliant (or I
am sure there would be heaps of meds given this way as the back end
doesn't bite!!)... but you could try coating her tablets with butter or
something. Or get liquid or paste forms which would go down more
easily; if the meds don't come in those forms you could probably get a
compounding pharmacist to make it up in a paste or suspension. I
believe in places like the US you even have compounding pharmacists
that will make up these things in fish-flavoured carriers!

Well, they have cat enemas...

There are cat suppositories but they are not for medication to treat for
vitamin problems or other medicl problems they are for constipation.
