smallest arthritis tablets?

[swampmaxmum]

The print is too small on the bottle of Cosequin DS Cat but think it's 250mgs per capsule. It says (I think it says) 1/2 capsule for cats under 5kgs and a capsule for cats from 5 - 10 kgs.
Max weighs just over 5 kgs I think. He has early CRF. He is noticeably limping when he gets up after a long snooze.
Do you think it is safe to give him a whole capsule, either every day or every other day? He won't eat wet food regularly enough for me to put 1/2 capsule powder in and know he's going to nosh it.

thanks. I'll give it a go. Max often spits out his lactulose. he seems to have a small throat (is that possible?!). He also has never eaten cheese - what kind should I try? Now if there was any chicken flavoured cheese

I got synoquin for the vets and that was a capsule. I tried everything to get them in Mogs. I mixed it with food but she ouldnt eat, I opened the capsule and mixed it with water and syringed it in and I tried the whole capsule route and basically Mogs got so wound up with it all she was sick.
Desley suggested Seraquin so I got some from vet uk. Mogs now begs for them and actually refuses whiskars treats in favour of them so I would definately recommend them

I use Seraquin - they dont seem small, but are palatable - it took Rosie 3 weeks to realise she could chew them herself but you can either break them up or mix with food - they have chicken protein and yeast in to make them smell nicer to cats.

Mix in a blob of cheese? Or in his lactulose? Or into water and squirt in his mouth. They do seem to work

I got Max some cosequin from vet uk but it's a big capsule and he's supposed to eat 1/2 of it a day (I think; the print's too small to read!). Trouble is, half the time I don't know if he's going to eat wet food or just some of it and leave some (usually the bit with the medicine in of course  ). Can't mix it in with his dry food. I think he'd choke if I gave him a whole capsule once every 2 days anyhow as they are quite big.
What's the smallest pill I can get which works for arthritis please?
