We have a very skittish 5 year old brown tabby named Brook who has developed asthma. At today's vet visit our vet prescribed liquid prednisone. I thought it would be a liquid I could mix with Brook's wet food or put on a treat, but the vet said she probably wouldn't eat it because she can smell the medicine in it. It's nearly impossible to get a hold of Brook once/month to trim her nails so I can't imagine how I can capture her every day to get her to take the liquid from a syringe. Even worse, she hides from our cat sitter and I don't think the cat sitter will be willing or even able to get a hold of her to give the liquid when we are away this weekend. I would cancel the trip but it's non-refundable and my husband and I really need this time away after a very stressful summer.
Do any of you have ideas on how I can get her to take the liquid in some type of food or treat? I think if I can't manage a way to do that, she won't be able to get the medicine.
