How to give liquid medicine to the cat

to give the cat liquids

Although it seems easy, on certain occasions and for different reasons give you liquid medications it can be difficult for your pet.

In the event that cats are with dietary restrictions, the medication can be administered together with food in small doses, the easiest way is to mix the remedy with a wet food.

If you want to administer it directly into the mouth, you must first shake the medicine and then place it in a container to be aspirated with a syringe (without a needle, obviously). Before giving it, we advise you to wrap your cat In a towel leaving only the head outside, if you get nervous the procedure can be complicated.

Think that there are many cats that they can resist and they can bite you, so please hold it firmly without hurting it.

Take the syringe with your right hand while holding it with the other and grabbing the head, with your index finger and thumb open your mouth a little and place the tip of the syringe at the back angle, inject the medicine little by little. If you give him small amounts, you will see how the medicine is slowly swallowing, preventing him from spitting it out.

Hold her mouth closed by gently rubbing her throat to make swallowing easier.
