When Bandit was ill, and had to have Prednisone daily, we found it easiest to crush the pill nad mix it thoroughly with a small amount of Nutrical. As he was seriously underweight from the lymphosarcoma, we thought it best to use that rather than Linatone. Hope this is helpful. --------------------- Katie Fritz CompuServe Small Mammals Section (S11) Co-Leader, Pets/Animals Forum Internet: [log in to unmask] CompuServe: 71257,3153 [Posted in FML issue 0846]
