Okay. Will post this to my daughter
and walk her thru it. Expecting she may come for a visit
on the weekend, so can do it in person with my cat as the model.

(Dosing is the usual "as needed" in terms of frequency... when one F series runs out of steam, go to the next one.)
Here is what I have sent to clients on dosing as a treat:
QUOTE
Below is suggestions on how to offer the remedy.
Homeopathic remedy dosing is a treat:
Most cats do not mind the dosing of a homeopathic aqueous remedy if it
is presented as a treat, since it tastes fine. I usually say in the same
tone used for a treat... "open for sweeties!!!" and I never say this
unless it is a homeopathic remedy.
So I recommend for all remedies - this technique of dosing gently
and making a nice fuss of the cat after that so as to get the dosing
well accepted. First time - let the cat smell the syringe to let them
know it is a nice taste, a treat, present it with enthusiasm, and after
about three doses this way, they get to know it is a treat.
The dose does not need to be swallowed. It just needs to touch the mouth
lining somehow. So as long as it gets inside the lips, it's fine.
It tastes like slightly sweet water, so it *is* a nice taste you are
"serving" - so it is fair to offer it specifically as a treat. I usually
call my cats for theirs (and NEVER call for something nasty). I say
"come get sweeties" and the right cat's name - and then I put it in the
mouth with a small syringe from the side. My cat Minerva was funny - she
would sit by my feet facing away - a "less threatened" position for a
cat - and lift a lip for her "sweeties". The nice thing about homeopathy
is that the cat will co-operate with a well presented correct remedy and
will sense it is a good thing especially after 3 or so "servings". Some
of them are so sensitive they will tell you when they are overdue for a
dose if you forget!
Anyway - present it well, and always do something special that they
like after giving it. Do not just "dose and go". You may need to do a
lot of homeopathy doses in this health plan one way or another and so it
pays to introduce it very positively and have that cat's help with the
process. I hope this works for you
