First time poster! My 4-year-old sow Cupcake has been diagnosed with IC, and we need to start glucosamine in addition to metacam. The vet recommended cat glucosamine capsules (125mg), and I've seen on other threads here that mixing one capsule with 2ml of water and syringe feeding is a good way to give it (so far Cupcake won't take it sprinkled on a wet veggie). I'm sorry if I've missed this in the other threads, but how much of that mixture can I make up at once?
 
I used to make up enough for 24hrs it's okay kept in the fridge for that long. So it depends what dose you are giving how much you would mix up in one go.
