Get it in transdermal form, which is to say you can get it in a form that reaches the inside of your pet’s body simply by rubbing it on her ear. Methimazole for hyperthyroidism is one drug that can be administered transdermally. Not all medicines will cross the skin barrier, but it’s worth asking your veterinarian.Injections. Some cats mind injections less than they mind pills. “They find getting near their mouths so invasive,” Dr. Borns-Weil says, “especially if it’s two or more times a day.” And one injection might take the place of many days’ worth of pills. This is the case for certain antibiotics, such as Convenia. “The vet gives a single injection that is two weeks’ worth of pills,” Dr. Borns-Weil says. “It’s worth asking about.”A veterinarian might not offer an injection, transdermal option, or compounded version of a medicine on her own because she wants to politely prescribe the form of a drug that will cost the least money. But if you tell the vet that your cat has a hard time accepting medication, Dr. Borns-Weil comments, she will let you know if there are alternatives to pills.
