Hi Everyone,
First time posting. We just found out our 14 year old has Lymphoma. The vet has put her on Prednisolone. I didn't give my cat enough credit on how smart she is. The first time I was able to hide the food in her regular wet food...though I knew she could tell something was up. That night for her second dose, she wasn't having it. Wouldn't touch it. I had to move up to a smelly tuna which she ate, but looked at me afterwards, like she was like yeah I know what you did. The next morning, she didn't eat it.
She has been eating table scraps lately, so I "faked" scraps and hid ground up pill into some chicken we had for dinner. Worked, but again, I think she knew, because she didn't fall for it again the next time. The next morning I decided to give everyone their favorite wet food (we have three cats), well Jinxy wouldn't eat hers, she instead ate the other cat's food, knowing we did something to her food. I am running out of ideas and I would rather not manually put it in her mouth.
Would the liquid be better to give her? Do you just squirt it in their mouths? I have wasted a lot of the pills on trial and errors so I am going to have to buy another bottle of something again soon. Any ideas?
