Hi, Nancy. At our vet hospital, we more often than not compound tablet medications with a combination of water, flavoring syrup and a suspension medium such as Ora-Plus to make pills into liquid for animals that are hard to pill or would have a hard time with a bigger pill. Ask your vet if they can either compound the medicine for you, or if they can recommend a compounding pharmacy to do it. The medication generally has an earlier expiration date this way, but it sure is easier to give most ferrets a liquid than a pill! -April "There's nary an animal alive that can outrun a greased Scotsman." -Groundskeeper Willy, "The Simpsons" [Posted in FML issue 3978]
