OK to dissolve flagyl?
Hi,
I'm giving my cat flagyl once a day for 2 weeks. Right now I'm on day two, and I was unsuccessful in getting the pill into her today (yesterday I was partially successful). My cat Will Not Be Pilled. And I have 12 more days of this?? I'm wondering if the drug will still be effective if I dissolve it in a good-tasting liquid and shoot it into her mouth. This method of giving medicine has always been much more successful with both of my cats. Yes, I can call a vet with this question. But not right this minute, as it's 15 minutes past midnight. So tomorrow, I'll call the vet. But for now, I still have to give her today's dose. Any vets here who could let me know? Thanks, Joyce |

And I would still check with your vet about this as I don't know why your cat is on Flagyl, but we do advise our clients that it is ok to mix with something like VAL syrup (liquid vitamin) as it is a very bitter tasting medication. Good luck, pilling a cat can be quite a experience :-) Nadine |
