Hi everyone!
One of my cats (Uszka) has FIC and we finally gave in and stared her on Amitryptiline. However, we only got one dose into her thus far. Pill pockets or crushing and hiding it in her favorite food (tuna) is a no go. Compared to my boy who just swallows everything without chewing, Uszka chews her food and as soon as she tastes the meds she starts foaming and hides for hours at a time. Forcing it into her mouth is also not an option because she is such an anxious cat that any stress triggers a variety of health problems. I asked my vet to order the medicated cream but that may take a while. ANY ideas would be greatly appreciated.
