I've had cats for the last 40+ years... some are just hard to get the medicine in, but what works best for me is to sit the cat on my lap or on a table. If the cat is really uncooperative wrapping the cat in a towel (sort of swathed like a big bib and the towel help tight so that front claws can't be used. Then open the cat's mouth by pressing firmly against the back hinge of the jaw. Quickly put the eyedropped behind the back teeth and squirt it in.... It takes practice. The plus side is that even if they spit it out, they do get most of it when they wash their fur in disgust at what was done....

Sometimes vets can perscribe the drugs for cats in a cream form that can be rubbed into the skin of the ears... but not everything can be made like that.

I am glad she is improving. I would let her have the odd foods she craves. Animals often know what they need and as long as it isn't something harmful I would let her have it. (My bunny was recently very ill with constipation and craved Pringles...It was the only thing he would eat without being coaxed/forced... Whether it was the grease or the salt, I don't know. I did what the vet said too of course, but for about two weeks Henly threw things if he didn't get a couple Pringles at night. He stopped wanting them and if fine now...)
