I know she is a picky eater so that may not work as it is bitter tasting and she will have to make her own capsules

he didnt mention tylan powder
and u are right; it will be hell giving her the powder; she's very picky and barely eats. she's eating now because of the prednisone; but once this is decreased her appetite takes a dive. so i am suffering with her on every level.
yeah i remember her being pick the pred definitely increases their appetite and why i have to measure dd food out as she would eat the whole bag of food in one hour if she could lolll

I think you should at least chat with vet about tylan powder as they have tiny capsules you can make - I have a website as i almost bought the capsule maker myself if i had to go that route with dd after this past years nightmare. My friend on here Cyndi and izzy she bought it and uses it for izzy who has ibd. She is not on here much anymore though
