Advice for oral meds
Hi! My cat was just diagnosed with dry FIP last Saturday and we opted to do the liquid oral meds. They took quite a bit of time to compound and arrive so he didn't get his first dose until yesterday evening. We made a little curu pocket with the meds pooled in the center and it took a little convincing but he got it all down.
Today, however, he is struggling and refuses to take them. We are going to try to give him water tonight directly through the syringe so he gets used to that feeling but I don't have high hopes. His teeth are in bad shape and the vet decided to wait to fix that until he makes a recovery. That is why we originally didn't go with the pills.
Anyway, I am just looking for advice. Does anyone have a particularly stubborn cat with meds? Are pills easier to convince them to eat?
