My cat refuses Laxatone. How do I give it if she only eats dry food?

Question

My cat is a 8 year old American shorthair. She's healthy other than having developed a cough in the last month. We took her to the Vet. They prescribed "VETOQUINOL LAXATONE". I am to give her 1/2-1 teaspoon for 2-3 days, then 1/4-1/2 teaspoon 3-4 days a week. I am asking how to administrator it. She only eats dry food. She won't eat it by itself. Could I put it in a syringe? Or, do you have any suggestions? Thank you! Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 9 years and 3 months old | 9 lbs

You can put it in a syringe and slowly administer it in her mouth. Make sure not to cause her too much stress or to administer it too quickly as she could choke. You can also smear it around her mouth or on her front legs. She will likely groom it off. You could try mixing it with something very tasty like canned cat food or a little tunafish if this is appropriate and OK for her. Best of luck.
