Natalie: Thats true! I had cats spit the liquid all out. If I can get the pill down in her throat well enough I know she took all of the necessary dosage. She threw up once after it, but ever since she keeps it down.
Gary: I can't get her to eat yet, so I can't mix it in her food. That would be a lot less stress for both of us. I tried everything but she doesn't want it. Luckely I did see her drink water this morning. I will call the vet today and question the dosage. It seems a lot to me. But she is very sick, maybe she needs it Thanks for all the advice! 2010/11/4 Natalie <at...@optonline.net> > I always use the liquid because it's easier to administer.
