Hello,
 
Potpie is on diazoxide, which my vet got from a local hospital pharmacy.
Because my vet is smart, she asked the pharmacist to make it up in
'chocolate malt' flavor, which Potpie doesn't take as eagerly as though
it's candy, but she doesn't seem to mind it even a tiny bit.  No fighting,
no spitting or frothing - it's like it's water in the syringe. :)  Good
luck.
