My cat was initially prescribed Cerenia. After a second consult, she's now on that (half a tablet, not 1/4) plus Zofran twice a day and Mirtazpine. I've been trying various ways to get them into her without making it an extremely stressful and negative experience. A vet just gave us a package of Pill Assist from Royal Canin, which seems to be similar to pill pockets but only sold by veterinarians. She likes them and seems to eat them without any issues regarding the pills stuck inside. Just to make sure, I've been crushing some Temptations, which I don't ordinarily buy but was told they would be OK as a treat when medicating, and rolling the Pill Assist in the crumbs. That may be unnecessary at this point if she will eat the treat without added goodies. But since one of the pills is Cerenia, which is known to taste terrible, I wonder if I should stick with the idea of putting all three, or maybe just Cerenia, in a gel cap to disguise the taste? If she decides she won't eat the Pill Assist because of Cerenia, I've lost a stress-free way of medicating her. The capsule with 3 tablets doesn't fit easily inside the treat, so perhaps using just half a gel cap, with a tiny bit of canned food over the opening to keep the pill from falling out, would work, and I could give her one or two other pieces with the other two pills?
