My cat foamed after liquid medicine. Did she get dose? How to give?

Question

My cat was prescribed predinsolone liquid and I started her first dose tonight, it was hard to give her this by mouth with syringe and she started foaming at the mouth, not sure if she swallowed the liquid dose is this okay? Are there any tips you can give to make syringing by mouth better? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 11 lbs

Hello. Foaming is not unusual when cats taste something they really do not like, but most likely most of the medication did go down. The problem is how much is Sweetie going to fight you at the next dose, & then the next one after that. I still prefer pills, as depending on the size, most are pretty tiny, or tablets can be formulated into tasty treats. I have also found that a lot of cats really love the taste of an product called Churu, by INABA. It is a lickable treat that makes it super simple to hide a small pill in it. For now, you can refrigerate the prednisolone you do have because making it cold often helps to disguise the nasty flavor some. Hope this all helps. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
