My little Feral calico just came home from an emergency hysterectomy. I was told to give her .8ml liquid veraflox once per day for 10 days. Problem is, she is now terrified of us. Might add that she is a wonderful, beautiful, funny, social #5.4 of fun, that simply will not allow us to touch her. Hence semi-feral.
All that said, can I seclude her to a room at meal time and combine the medication with tuna juice to get her to take it, or is this not allowable with the meds? I can't imagine dosing her every day... wounds are still healing from catching her yesterday, and she was wiped out, LOL.
TIA!
Semi-Feral needs liquid Veraflox - mix with food?

Re: Semi-Feral needs liquid Veraflox - mix with food?
Some (if not all) veterinary antibiotics can be mixed with food. Check on the label if this is the case.
The main concern would be that the cat could smell the medicine in the food and not to eat it, or she might not eat the whole meal hence she might not take her daily dose of antibiotic.
It could be a good idea to mix the medicine in a very small amount of wet and tasty food (early in the morning when she is hungrier) so that she eats it all and later give her the rest of her meal.
Is there any chance that a Convenia shot may solve the issue?
