I am currently giving Feeby gabapentin that I crush up and mix with a bit of Lil Gravies, then oral syringe feed the concoction to her. We had canned tuna in water the other day, so I saved the 'juice' to use instead of the Lil Gravies. I found she tends to take it better with the tuna juice and doesn't let it 'leak' out of her mouth.
I could buy tuna flavored treats - even the Lil Gravies has a tuna version, but the pouches are large enough that I either throw out most of it or freeze it. However, they don't freeze well and tend to turn into gel when I get a container out to thaw. I am not even sure that there isn't something about the 'texture/consistency' of tuna juice that makes it more appealing than the treats. She doesn't really like tuna meat anymore, nor does she eat any form of canned tuna food for cats, so it isn't necessarily having to do with just the tuna flavor. She doesn't take the meds well in any form of lickable treat, which generally have a thicker consistency.
Short of buying canned tuna and throwing out the meat to save the juice for her, is there such a thing as tuna juice that you can buy? Any ideas?
