Sometimes pets have difficulty taking medications, due to numerous reasons. Pets have a good memory and if they remember that their medicine tastes bad, it will continuously be difficult to give medicine to them later on.
Compounded medication may offer a solution for your hard-to-medicate pets.
Options include:
-
adding a tasty flavor
-
changing the medication form into a soft chewable or flavored suspension
-
changing a bitter liquid into a capsule that can be hidden in a treat
-
a cream that can be absorbed through the inner ear*
-
a tacky gel applied to a cat's paw (cats will lick the medicine while grooming)
With the options we can provide, you may find some benefits; for example, an easier way to medicate your pet and remove some variables so that your pets are able to consistently take their medications as prescribed.
