How to give a cat a pill

Tabby

Talking about pills and cats is talking about a situation that is very unpleasant for them. Anyone who has tried to give the medicine to their dear friend will know that it is a very complicated task, since even if you try to hide it between a food that he loves, he always leaves it on the floor.

So if you want to know how you can give a cat a pill quickly and effectively, do not stop reading.

Throughout its life the cat will require veterinary attention more than once, so you may need to take more than one pill, even if you don't want to. When the veterinarian recommends a treatment, it is important to follow it since it is the only way to get him to recover his health as soon as possible because, after all, he is the specialist who has dedicated several years to the study of animals. But of course, who gives a pill to his feline?

Your caretaker, of course. Yes, there is no other. As little as we like it, we can assume that the furry likes it much less. Fortunately, we can make the experience not so unpleasant with a few tricks.

The most important thing is that the cat feels calm where it isIt is not the same to try to give him a pill when he is lying on the sofa than when he is running around the house. You always have to give it to him in situations that are the same or similar to the first one so that in this way he does not feel very uncomfortable. In addition, we also have to be relaxed too to avoid spreading nervousness.

Thus, we can try to chop the pill well and mix it with wet cat food. The safest thing is that he will eat it without problem, but if it does not work, You will have to open your mouth and insert the pill and then close it immediately exerting only a little pressure (enough so that you cannot open it).

When he's swallowed it, we'll let it go and we will immediately give you a treat that you like a lot. And if there is still no way, we can talk to the vet to see if, instead of pills, he can be given injections, which will be less traumatic.
