giving arthrimaxx to cat

Yesterday I was given Arthrimaxx for my 16 yr old cat. I found it is not easiest medicine to give to her. It is administered via dropper (.75ML) 2x a day. She is NOT a happy kitty!!! Any advice out there?? Thank you in adance

Can you give it with food?
My cat loves canned pumpkin and its good for them too (high fiber helps eliminate hairballs) don't get the pumpkin pie filling, that has too many spices, just the plain pumpkin. Perhaps you can put the medicine in that to give to her? Another idea is canned cat food, those are pretty smelly so may hide the taste/smell of the medicine.

If you choose to go the pumpkin route, just make sure you don't give too much, just a tablespoon or so. Too much fiber can be bad too.

Thanks for the info Amanda.....I have not tried the pumpkin yet..it does state on the bottle Not to put in the cats' water, so I'm not sure about food. Anyway, I'll see what I can do.

Hello,

I am from the Animal Nutritional products company that MFG's Arthrimaxx. When dealing with any feline it always becomes a little bit of a problem. They best and recommended way to give the product is on the food, mixed in well. DO not put it in water because you always want your cat to have fresh water with nothing in it. The product is actually the fastest growing product for cats that have osteoarthritis. Everything you want to know about all of our products is on are website at arthrimaxx.com. On the back of the bottle and in our brochures it clearly states how to give the product, which is very easy to give.
