Hello Fellow Cat Lovers: I have a 16 yo DSH female. She is a gentle kitty and up until now was taking Cerenia for anti nausea every other day. I was originally successful using pill pockets. Then, she stopped liking them. We have been through every flavour of pill pocket, even tried “dog” flavours! I had some success with the junk food treat, Temptations, for a while. I broke the treat open and then pushed the pill into the soft inside of the Temptation treat. This morning she ate the Temptation and left the pill! What a smart kitty!

So, now what? Does anyone have any ideas or successes with other soft treats to try hiding medication in? It is a tiny pill (thank goodness). She is not a easy cat to “pill pop”. I have some compounded liquid that I could try, but I would like to make it easy on both of us. She is the love of my life! Thanks in advance!

I am giving cerenia to my cat as well. I am using the inaba and I break off some pieces and make a little meatball with the cerenia inside she eats this every time. They come in afew different flavors there is chicken and tuna but she likes this one best. I keep the rest in the fridge and use this multiple times before she eats it all up.

We put the pill in a tiny bit of Gerber's baby food, chicken beef, ham. Get the stuff without onions no garlic. You'll need to freeze most of it.
make little clumps so you can thaw them and have a couple of days available at a time. That's if she likes it. Some don't.
