1. Place the cat on a relatively stable level surface, such as a table or chair. Ideally, you’ll need another person to help you heal the cat by hand. If you don’t have a helper, you can wrap the cat’s body in a large towel to keep it from moving. For particularly aggressive cats, you can put them in a cat bag.
2. Hold the tablet with the right hand, support the cat’s cheek with the thumb and index finger of the left hand, and support the cat’s head with the palm of the hand. Keeping the cat’s head up, gently open the cat’s mouth with your right hand and put the pill down the cat’s throat. This step is very critical. If the pill falls on the cat’s tongue, the cat will immediately spit it out.
3. Continue to hold the cat’s head with your hands until the cat swallows the pills smoothly.
Of course, if the cat refuses to cooperate when feeding medication with bare hands, or bites its fingers during feeding, the use of a medication feeder is highly recommended. The pill feeder can feed pills, just clip the pills to the top of the pill feeder.
Second, granule type cold medicine
If you need to feed liquid medicine, then you need a syringe or cat medicine artifact. In step 2 above, place the syringe on the cat’s gums on both sides and push the syringe gently. When the cat feels the liquid enter its mouth, it stretches its tongue as if it were drinking water, and then swallows the liquid.
Many cats have psychological shadows after taking medicine. When they see their owner coming with pills or syringes, they run away quickly. this is normal. All the owner needs to do at this point is to reward the cat with a small treat or hold it for comfort immediately after the successful feeding, so that the cat will feel better.
