Health & WellbeingIs there another way to give my cat Amitriptyline? Had a lot of trouble trying to drop the pill in his throat as instructed. I put it in wet food, pill pockets, other treats but nothing. Tried a topical cream but that was too expensive to get refil
Hi there. Yes, you should be able to get it compounded into a flavored liquid (like chicken or fish) if this would be easier for you to give. You may have a local compounding pharmacy that can do this, or you can use an online pharmacy like Wedgewood or Vets First Choice. I would recommend calling your veterinarian tomorrow to talk about this - he/she should be able to tell you where you can have this done, and can write a new prescription for the compounded medication.
