Hi, Connie,
Keith and I have eight ferts, so we've been through giving some really
awful tasting meds to ferts.
One thing that might make them more palatable is to go to a compounding
pharmacy and have the meds mixed with flavoring. Vanilla or banana usually
works well. IME, ferts hate the coconut flavor many pharmacies have.
Also, we give the meds with a syringe, and scruff the fuzzy and give it
then. They may not like it, but they swallow their meds. We also
immediately give them a Linatone chaser, and that seems to make all the
difference in the world.
Good luck!
