It is a liquid but it has to absorb into the skin instead of being ingested, so if she swallows it then it has no effect. And that leads me to my next question: does anyone know whether squirting buprenorphine against her gums/in that general area of her mouth is as effective as squirting it...
Okay, yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I just called the vet and they said to try heating up some tuna for her but all that did was make her go further back under the bed. I'm gonna let her relax for a few minutes and then start pulling everything apart. Thank you for the suggestion!
