I don't know about the US, but up here Novopharm is the pharmaceutical company that distributes it. According to them, the flavouring is already mixed in with the powder and vets/pharmacies add distilled water as the suspension. They can't seem to get their own story straight. One person said it was a mixed berry flavour, while another told my compounding pharmacy that it was wild berry. My girls went nuts over the stuff and I was hoping to find the flavour to add to their water. For some strange reason, they refuse to tell me who their supplier for it is....but the battle isn't over just yet.
If a regular pharmacy can't/won't help you find a flavour, chances are a compounding one will be more than happy to assist. The one I've started dealing with has (amoung many others) peanut butter, chocolate, banana, bubble gum, watermelon, strawberry, wild raspberry....and so on....
