Can I mix this powder with chicken broth and syringe feed it to my cat?

Yes, you can, but most cats will eat it when mixed with cat food. Very little, if any taste in l-lysine

Water or food would be fine, I used a medicine dropper a put it directly in my cats mouth.

I open them up and mix them with a little bit of water. (Mixes best if you add powder to water, rather than water to powder. I use a 3cc syringe (no needle on it.) I used to get my cat every evening and hold him while I opened his mouth and squirted it down his throat, and then one day he just grabbed the thing and licked it all up by himself. Now he insists on it every night. Loves the taste, and have had very few flareups of his his IBS or pancreatitis. Tastes so good to them that I have actually used it to add to more yucky medicines to make them more palatable for the animals.

I mix the contents of the capsule with a teaspoon or a little more of canned cat food, or sometimes tuna fish. Hope this helps. ;)

The easiest is some kitten food or canned dog/cat food. Those have a higher concentration of fat and crude proteins which aid in proper absorption of the med. My vet confirmed the same, though they look flustered when you go and buy the product elsewhere. If they were closer in price it would be a no brainer.

I just use the syringe the vet gives me. This product is so chalky I wouldn't want it spilling so make sure your cap is tight. Maybe check at Walgreens or a local pharmacy for exactly what you want. Good luck!

It is nutritious, so I don't see why not. My cats LOVE this, especially the salmon and crab recipe. Btw, there are vegetables in this food and the cats eat it all! My two cents...

My cats don't. Just be sure to mix the powder in well with the wet food. If they hit a large enough clump of the powder, it'll be a little bitter for them. A trick I used was to heat the food a little to amplify the smell and taste of the food.

This can be fed alone. If you were going to mix it with anything I would mix it with some diced fresh fruit from your grocery store. Make sure to do your research and find out what kind your birds are allowed to eat :)

I've used this on two cats neither of which would eat it mixed into food. I mixed it into yogurt instead and one of the cats ate it with no problems. I had to mix it with water then give it to the other cat with a syringe. (Luckily he was very easy to pill, unlike the first cat.) The first cat had two bouts of acute pancreatitis and Forta Flora helped clear up the problem in a few days. The other had chronic pancreatitis and had to have it on a daily basis. While it couldn't cure the problem, it was obvious if he had missed a dose.

My cat bites when trying to give meds, so I open the caps, and mix them in his food--this IS allowable. It works just as well as putting it down their throats.

Not in my opinion, no; too long and there could be a risk of it sticking horizontally. The caps are gelatine so would take a while to dissolve, if this occurred. However my cat is a nightmare for rejecting anything in her food and I did empty contents into butter pats at first. In the end I spread tiny ammounts through meals through the day as she's a snacker. Now she eats it anyway and is used to the taste. Worth persisting, it has changed my Ankh's life and she can move and jump again and is no longer in constant pain.

I don't know whether or not you could/should pop the whole capsule into a cat's mouth. I would be concerned that the cat would either easily spit it out or have trouble swallowing it or might choke on it. It is a large capsule. I have used Cosequin for years, for two of my cats, and I also sprinkle it on canned food and mix it in. Both cats eat the mixture well.

The Viralys powder does not have any sweetener of any kind in it. I think my cat has acquired a taste for it because it has always been in his wet food in the morning. I give him half a can of Fancy Feast with a spoon full (included in the container) sprinkled on top every morning. That is the only wet food he gets. If you have a problem with wet food (some cat owners do) just give him a few spoonfuls.

perhaps you should ask the maker and producer? I use the limited ingredient cat kibble; ask Natural Balance your question, it's the best way to get an answer

It's probably fine to use on a cat but I would look for something formulated for cats just in case.

I'm not sure. Maybe there's a customer service number on the company's website. You could call and ask them. I don't know what your cat's situation is, but personally, if I had a kitten who couldn't properly digest any other foods on the market and this food was his only chance, I would certainly feed it to him, but if he didn't like the food with water added to it as per the instructions, I'd serve it to him dry in a bowl but cut each of the kibbles in half so that the pieces are small enough for his mouth.
