Hi everyone, just an update
Im thinking about stopping this medication giving journey entirely.
My vet switched me to clomicalm which comes in tiny tablets and do not have as much of a bitter smell or taste as gaba. I was hopeful but nope, humphrey can even detect this in his treats and he's becoming even more wary and suspicious of wet food in general now.
I've never had to throw out wet food that has been left overnight, this is definitely as a result of trying to trick him into eating his meds that way.
Today, i tried to give him a syringe filled with water and crushed up clomicalm. I managed to get a bit into his mouth when he tasted it and just absolutely freaked out. He was smacking his mouth in distaste. I'm honestly already at my wits end with this. I don't know if i should persevere for his own good or stop because it's just traumatizing him.
