What can I give my cat for pancreatitis if he won't take pills?

Question

what can i give my cat for mild pancreatitis? My vet wants to give him pepcid ac and another medicine that starts with a "C" not sure of the name I haven't picked it up from vet yet. He is very difficult to take medicine even the vet had a hard time. Is there anything else I can give him that would be just as good, like a food or tasteless medicine that can be put in water? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 10 years and 6 months old | 15 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Buddy! The medication is likely cerenia, which is an anti-nausea medication. Unfortunately there are pills or liquid formulations of medication. Cerenia and pepcid come in injectable form. The Vet can give the first dose and maybe get the pepcid and cerenia compounded in to a liquid form. If you think you can squirt liquid medications in him then I would ask to get that form. Or consider hospitalizing for injectables. I hope this helps and i wish Buddy a speedy recovery!
