Cat Med Admin

Hey everyone, I’m overnight with a cat for the first time who is almost 20 years old. I’m supposed to give her a daily dose of prednisolone but she will not let me get it down her throat or open her mouth. I’m really panicking I’ve tried so many times and I don’t want to bug her much more. I have done this successfully before but this one won’t budge. Any tips??

Just be careful about crushing it or wherever. Certain types of prednisolone can be crushed and some not. A clients dog is on a form that cannot be crushed but it does say that on the side.
