I thought seafood flavor would be better than the “chicken marshmallow” they gave him last time. He’s letting me know how entirely wrong I was in that choice.
To be fair, it smells awful. I’d probably make the same face.

My mother's cat is medicated twice a day. They tried to convince us pills were the only way. We found no, there's medicated ear cream. At the time this meant going to an uncommon compound pharmacy, getting it mixed there, and creaming up her ears. These days, you just order that shit online.
Cats been getting her ears medicated for years now and is way calmer about that.
Well calm for a cat.
Yeah that same cat I was talking about needed thyroid medication that was given to him by ear cream. Compounding pharmacy liked to underdose him by a factor of 10 though; we got at least two batches of that medicine that was something like .01mg when it was supposed to be .1mg. Which was...great.
Oh, the compounding pharmacy we use to use before the internet just hated the fact it was medicine for a cat. He (the pharmacist) liked to complain about how taking time to make this medicine took away time from making more important medicine.
It was not a busy pharmacy. He could take the time to make fucking cat medicine.
Ear cream was the salvation of my relationship with our old cat.
