Yes, they are a breeze to use. Need vet prescription. I use BCP Veterinary Pharmacy. I order and they ship that day or next day, overnight. The chews are soft and small. (about the size of a pea). 1-800-481-1729. -Original Message- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Kelley Saveika Sent: Tuesday, June 23, 2009 11:20 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Re OT- Tiffany, blind DUMPED cat My heart kitty gets lasix in triple fish flavor and enalaphril in caplets, I break up the caplets and let the powder drain out and mix it up and give it to her..didn't know you could get it in chew form.

Re: [Felvtalk] Re OT- Tiffany, blind DUMPED cat
Kelly, have you heard anything from your vet in regards to getting this poor girl on meds yet. I can't believe any vet would keep her waiting while he calculates for this long. I am at a loss for words. Each day that goes by there could be more damage occurring. Please keep us posted.

Re: [Felvtalk] Re OT- Tiffany, blind DUMPED cat
Sorry, did not mean to be so short there. The prescription is for 0.685 Amlodipine daily. We got it in flavored chews. Hoping she likes them since she will be on them for life, if not next month we can get liquid or pill form.

That's great Kelly. Glad you were able to get it in chews. The pills are small and can be difficult to split.
