Why can't my cat's Senvelgo be mixed into his food?

Thanks for your question! It's great that you're checking in about how to administer your cat's Senvelgo. This particular medication should not be mixed into food for a few potential reasons.



First, some medications can lose effectiveness when mixed with food due to interactions with certain ingredients or because they need to be absorbed directly from the stomach. Mixing it could also alter the taste or smell of the food, which might make your cat avoid eating altogether.



If giving a tablet or capsule directly is a challenge, you can try gently wrapping it in a small treat or using a pill pocket designed for animals, which can often make the process a bit smoother.



Watch for signs like vomiting, diarrhea, or a decreased appetite, which could indicate that your cat isn't tolerating the medication well. Additionally, if he's avoiding his regular meals or appears distressed, it might be time to explore other methods of administration.
