well, it's got no flavor at all, so that wouldn't be an issue.  The preferred/recommended way to dose is to do it orally in the cheek pocket so it can be absorbed there.  I would think that while the benefit would be much less than ideal, it's probably better than nothing[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Yeah, dabbing the topical meds on the individual spots is the best way to medicate for it. It probably wasn't you spreading it, it floats in the air, so just having the central heat on would be enough to contaminate the entire house.   Don't worry so much, it's just a little fungus, the same

You can up the calorie intake short term by adding a few teaspoons of Vita-Cal (a generic of Nutri-Cal) supplement to each feeding. This adds to the calories without the extra bulk. I always keep a tube on hand. Not sure how it would be for a CRF kitty though, maybe be way too much protein, h
