Hi all, my cat is prescribed with tramadol tablet (50mg), to be taken 1/4 tablet three times a day for her broken pelvis. But it is so hard to make her take the pill as it is very bitter. Can i mix it with Ora-Plus or simple syrup? Any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you!

Have you tried putting it in a small piece of cheese or in a little peanut butter?

Hello,
I would ask your vet if maybe a fentanyl patch might be easier? Or I often give an nsaid injection. These can last days. Which is about all I give them. In about 3-4 days they seem to settle down enough to not need more analgesia. But strict cage rest is imperative! No walking! Make sure you ask about a stool softener too.
