The ear cream did not work for Diego. Neither did the liquid format. Now I get it in a chewable treat format, comes in different flavors too. This I mush up with some similar flavored "treat type" cat food and he eats it all down. I alternate with Fancy Feast and Whiskas wet. The vet calls it the McDonalds of kitty food, but has ok'd me using it for this purpose. I really don't care what it takes to get him to take the meds, so long as he's getting them and we have a peaceful household and Miss Cali, the white girl has no red bite marks on her sweet head.
