Why do veterinarians insist...

on making amoxi in BUBBLEGUM flavor??? Don't these @$$hats know cats don't like bubblegum flavor????? Fish flavor...THEY LIKE FISH!!!!! Maya Linn, who is on the stuff in an effort to curb her chronic sneezing, hates it!!

This morning, the former Cat Show Queen turned couch potato, jumped up on the bed, got in my face, meowed very loudly to let me know SHE was hungry, then blew a HUGE loogie in my face. Not a way to make a good impression.

Tell me again WHY I love Meezers so much??? Her meow is like nails on a chalkboard! Gotta love her though!!

Moosmom, I'm laughing as I type this. Good morning, meowmie!

You might be onto something here - pharmaceuticals in flavors appealing to cats. When you make your first zillion dollars I'll say I knew you when...

See if you can get your vet to phone the prescription in (beyond the first few doses needed immediately) to Wedgewood. They can compound it in a fish or chicken flavor, and some medicines can even be dispensed in a felt-tip pen that you wipe inside the cat's ear. It's been a lifesaver for me and Smudge, the Original Unpillable Cat!

Love, Columbine

I've always found that giving cats liquid medicine is very difficult no matter what it tastes like. When my RB pepper needed some medicine, I had it compouded into chicken flavor and he still hated it.

I think that the best product for pills is the pill pocket. I now get pill form instead of liquid for meds if I can and I put the pills into part of a chicken flavored pill pocket. Storm takes 2.5mg of pred in the morning which is half of a pill and he takes 5mg of pepcid in the evening which is also half a pill. I just put them in pill pockets and he thinks he's getting a treat. Without these it would very hard for me to give him his meds. Good luck.
