Hi..
Have you tried the Bayrill and pred separate?? we recently got a bottle of
prenisolone liquid rather than pediapred our crew did not appreciate the
change in flavor and had a fit.. our vet mixes the baytril in water.. and I
then feed it to them in some babyfood and water.. it masks the flavour well
and our vet said it was ok.. (though you might want to check with yours
too ) they don't even know they're getting it..
good luck :)
