I would just add a few drops to a strongly flavored and/or irresistible food - Like Tuna or Tuna Water (Which is not good to feed to cats regularly, but, once in a while, it's OK). Or on a slice of Chicken/Turkey/Roast Beef. Or, maybe in a small amount of Meat Baby Food (Gerber's Stage 1).

Okay, here goes! I have a 15 yr old cat, who has had thyroid cancer for at least 4 years, been to two different vets during this time. One vet gave him a thyroid pill, to be given 2 times a day! Problem was, the cat wouldn't keep the meds down, and if I thought I'd succeeded, I'd find it later in a corner or somewhere. Finally stopped the very unpleasant times trying to have him keep it down, but he needed it 2 times a day.I kept searching for some help, and found a med online, ordered it, but it was in hard pill form, so I had to crush it, them mixed it with a small amt of almond milk, using a small bottle and cut the slim opening to a larger size, shook it well, took him on my lap in the bathroom with closed doors, and got some down him, more on me, but finally we got better at it! When he wouldnt eat very much, I'd even put some of his wet food in the bottle as well.
I guess I should tell you that he is skinny, but still active, and does eat sometime, but I still give him his meds with whatever is needed to supplement his health. It's been over 4 years since, and he's doing okay. Sometimes you just have to do what you have to, without any professional help. Thank you,

The second seizure was less severe (though still frightening) and since we went to the vet and got a clear blood panel showing no metabolic reasons for the seizure, we are tackling this naturally.
Thanks to everyone for their great posts and suggestions! I'll be swapping out her daily olive oil for coconut oil. (I would like to mention it's important for all oils to be organic and expeller pressed as that means no chemicals like hexane were used. I follow the same diet rules for sweetpea as I do for myself! )
