My senior cat has lung failure. Is there a liquid bronchodilator?

Question

Hello, My vet has been treating my 17 year old cat for bad flu for over a month. She has had a course of antibiotics for 4 weeks - every monday. My vet has been doing house calls as she is arthritic and I feel it is better to not distress her at this age. Today he was here and diagnosed her with lung failure. He prescribed a human bronchilator - which she really can't bare to swallow. She drools and I can't get it down her, it's so sad to watch. Can you recommend any other product that is not s.

There is a syrup called terbutalin, it's also a bronchodilatator but it may be easier to give to her because it is liquid. it's a human product so it can be purchased in a normal pharmacy with a prescription.
