My cat, Khadija, has been on a pill form of phosphate binders which has helped tremendously with managing her early stages of kidney failure. When I went in to renew her prescription today I was told that the vet could no longer get pills and instead they gave me a huge bottle of mint flavored antacid liquid that has the phosphate binder as the main ingredient. Thas is really awful first because I hate giving liquid...pills are so much easier to administer and second (and most importantly) the mint flavor is really offensive to Khadija...she drooled and spit out most of the stuff when I gave it to her tonight.
Is anyone else having trouble getting the pill form of phosphate binders? If you are using the pills, please share with me the name of the medication so I can see whether I can track some down.
Thanks so much for your help.
