Button is a 2.9 year old rat diagnosed with dementia. Vet has prescribed cabergoline which I have mixed with chocolate ice cream. Button still hates it and it's a struggle to give it to her. She has terrible diarrhea the next day. She has to take it every 3 days so by the time she has recovered from a dose and is back to semi-enjoying life( she still doesn't seem to be aware of her surroundings a lot of the time and will fall if she is allowed near the edge of anything including my lap).
I wonder if I am being kind in continuing to treat her or if the kinder thing would be to let her go. Spending 1/3 of your life in misery when you don't even know what's going on seems cruel. On the other hand is there something that will hide the taste of cabergoline that I am not aware of?
