How about making a small good tasting smoothie with blueberries or strawberries and putting the Mepron in that. I've
tried putting liquid in a Gelatin capsule but it made the capsule all gooey. You might have better luck though.

Hi AJB:
Our daughter used a plastic syringe provided by the pharmacy. This was it was squirted to the back of the tongue. Worked well. We would then put water in the syringe and squirt again to make sure the full dose went in.
It was easy to draw it from the bottle (I think there might have been an adaptor, also provided by Walgreens).
This worked much better than the spoon.
Good luck,

t9im has a good idea there - from my experience, I would just be careful not to squirt it in forcefully as it can cause choking - easy does it.

That is how I always took it: oral syringe, easier to draw an accurate dose and easier to get down.
If your pharmacy gives you a blank stare at the request for an oral syringe, most all vet stores have them since so many medicines must be forced down animal's throats.
