Cat Forum / General Topics / March 2008Giving Tylan to a cat
My cat has been having some colitis problems and the doctor prescribed Tylan, possibly for the rest of the cat's life, to stop these problem. It's only 1/8th of a teaspoon a day and it's supposed to be sprinkled into the cat's food but the cat would rather starve than eat food with the very bitter medicine mixed in. I have had to resort to giving it to her in two doses of the gravy from her cat food via syringe. It's well diluted but she foams at the mouth and spits as much out as possible. How am I supposed to give Tylan to her if she's going to react this way every single day? Try using empty pill capsules http://www.iherb.com/ProductDetails.aspx?c=1&pid=891&at=0 and put the capsule into a pill pocket you can get the empty capsules at any drug store the pill pockets at any pet store for a few dollars > My cat has been having some colitis problems and the doctor prescribed > Tylan, possibly for the rest of the cat's life, to stop these problem.

Getting a capsule down her throat is next to impossible. A pill pocket wouldn't fool her either. A dog, yes; a tiny 5 lb. cat, no. But she needs this med. >> Try using empty pill capsules >> http://www.iherb.com/ProductDetails.aspx?c=1&pid=891&at=0 and put the [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > impossible.

Try what I said first you never know if it does not work you are going to have to put it ina syringe everyday and force feed it unless it is possible that the pharmacist can mix it into something also try mixing it with baby food nothing with onion in it also do you have access to the news group rec.pets.cats.health+behav if so go there and talk to the other members there are a few vet techs there and some very knowledgeable people >> Try using empty pill capsules >> http://www.iherb.com/ProductDetails.aspx?c=1&pid=891&at=0 and put the [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > impossible.
