Palatability is the new CATchcry for medicating cats. At Last! And there is now a Compounding Pharmacy who is accommodating this important area. Even better, they can make some medications Transdermal so you can apply the tiny bit of cream to the inside of your cat’s ear. Yes, you have to wear gloves or you will have the drug affecting you! Not every medication works this way, so Ask Dr Kim next time you need a refill or any medication for your cat. It takes a few days to organise, so phone first 0400 756 331 if you are running out of your cat’s drugs.
