[QUOTE="Dazza1984, post: 440659, member: 87437"] Hi abs. I'm new to the forum to reading around and came across your post here. I am a vet and in your case would adv to crush it rather than mix in water. This is not to say the latter is wrong but it's all to do with the rate of absorption. A whole tab takes longer than a crushes one, and a crushed one takes longer than dissolved. I am a small animal vet now but do the same with dog/cats. It is pref to give the whole tab but if it's a toss up between getting the med in her or not then dissolve it. D :) [/QUOTE]
