It sounds like you will have to try and hide it in something that is strong smelling such as tuna juice. If that still doesn't work, then ask your vet to prescribe this in pill form. It may need to be sent to a compounding pharmacy in order to get the pill version. And typically if a pet spits out the medication there is no harm for aspiration. ONly when the pet chokes on it, which usually happens when we try to force the medication down. Also when a pet vomits it back up, there is small risk of aspiration. Just continue to monitor for any coughing, fever, or decreased appetite if you have concerns about this. I hope that you are able to get Chutki's medication down her soon. Best wishes and take care.
