I have had success with adding heavy whipping cream to the Enacard and Lasix for my Cybil... I heat it up a smidgen of the cream and you would think you gave her the world.. my other fuzzy likes his with his duck soup so I add his meds to a teaspoon of duck soup and when he finishes that I give him the rest of the duck soup.. I vary his with the whipping cream so he gets a change. Heavy whipping cream has seen me thru Baytril, Pred, Lasix, Enacard, Doxycycline and a number of other nasty tasting med... I have had no problem at all since all my guys love the cream...it only takes a little heated up and the meds go down smoothly...an no, do they not get the runs using the heavy whipping cream, only if you go overboard.. Hope this helps..
