Sure is. But if you mix it with a liver flavored suspension (or
tutti-frutti, actually) at a one to one ratio, my guys seem to take it pretty
easily. And the manufacturer says the suspension will be stable once mixed
with the flavoring for up to sixty days. Of course, that was my old rep.
The new one doesn't seem to be willing to say anything about compounding at
all.
