Subject: Need advice on how to give Med's

Hi,
Annika is on a couple of antibiotics, one I am having less trouble giving her then the other. I have been sprayed with the famotidine/
metronidazo, she has done a very good impression of a rabid ferret (frothing at the mouth) all of which is leading me to believe that she
is not getting very much of her medicine. The second antibiotic, Clavamax, does not seem to illicet the same response from Annika. I was
able to mix it into her food and get her to eat it, not that it was easy but she got most of it into her (I think). So I am posting in the
hopes that someone has an idea of how to better get the famotidine/metronidazo into her. It was mixed up at a compounding pharmacy
into a banana flavoured suspension, but it doesn't seem to have helped very much. Any suggestions would be greatly apprieciated.
Thanks in advance
