Any experience with nitrofurantoin? Need help :-(

My cat gets frequently recurring UTIs, due to MRSA, and the urine culture results claim that only nitrofurantoin is effective in treating the infection. (We tried the second best option of clyndamycin once, and it didn't do anything.)

The big problem is that my cat HATES the stuff. When given as a liquid, she refuses to swallow and spits it out. The capsules I was given are too big to put in a pill pocket. Found one online pharmacy that could make it into a treat, but she still didn't like the taste...

(FYI, I live alone, so giving her medicine is extra challenging. She tends to roll on her side as a defensive measure, which is ok for liquids, but I don't think I can pill her this way.)

Has anyone had better luck administering this medicine? The only way I've managed is to board my cat with my vet, but that's expensive and stressful in itself.

Can you get it as an injectable, or as a transdermal gel?  We had a cat that was absolutely impossible for us to pill, so that's how we had her meds made up.

Otherwise, how about seeing of a Vet Tech from any of the Vet offices nearby your home would be willing to stop by and administer the pill on their way to/from work?  We've also done that when absolutely necessary.  WE just called around to all the Veterinary Clinics in town until we found someone who was willing to do that...for a fee, of course.  But it was still a LOT less expensive than being boarded at the Vet, and much less stressful for everyone
