Giving cat medication?
| Mon, 07-05-2004 - 8:28pm |
Have to give my cat a pill once a day.Have tried crushing/disolving and mixing with gourmet moist cat food-a treat for my cats because I only fed them dry.She still won't touch it so I have to secure her and try to pry open mouth and give it that way-Neither of us like that.Any suggestions?Thanks

If she is too smart to find it in the food, then prying her mouth open is about the only way. If there are two of you, one can hold and the other do it. Or if there is only one, you can sit on the floor with the cat between your legs and get the mouth open with one hand and get the pill in with the other. If you aren't sure if she swallowed it, rub her neck and when she licks her nose, the pill should be gone.
Good luck!!

HOW TO GIVE YOUR CAT A PILL
1)
Try to not make a big deal out of it, if you just tilt her head to the side a little bit and use a syringe instead of a dropper (syringes give you better control and you can get them without a needle from your vet ) and dribble, don't squirt the med into her mouth between the spaces in her teeth.
