If the tablet is coated, it may work on time release too. I made this mistake a few years ago. My Lucy wouldn't take her medicine so I crushed the tablet and put it in her food. I told my vet what I did...he said I could have killed her ! The type of medicine she was taking wasn't meant to be ingested all at once, it was a coated tablet that was to be released into her system slowly... |
I was just gonna say crush it and mix it in with thier food, that's what I did, but now you got me thinking! Time release! never really thought about that.
