The digestive system of kittens is very delicate. Therefore, bowel problems in babies are common. The veterinarian may prescribe drugs that normalize the kitten's stool, for example, "Smecta". Your job is to give this medicine correctly.
It is necessary
- - powder "Smeta";
- - boiled water;
- - disposable syringe without a needle;
- - terry towel.
Instructions
Step 1
"Smecta" is a drug that eliminates diarrhea, normalizes the functioning of the stomach and intestines. It is non-toxic and easily excreted from the body. The medicine is available in powder form, packaged in three-gram sachets. Before giving "Smecta" to a kitten, dilute it with water, turning it into a liquid emulsion. Unless otherwise instructed by the doctor, dilute half a packet of the drug in a quarter of a glass of lukewarm boiled water. Stir thoroughly until the solution is homogeneous.
Step 2
Liquid medicine is given to cats with a disposable syringe without a needle. Take a medium-sized syringe, draw up the Smecta solution. Release the air from the syringe. Do all these actions in advance so that the whole procedure takes as little time as possible and does not bring additional worries to the kitten.
Step 3
Take the kitten, wrap it in a towel so that only the head remains outside. The kitten will resist, so fix the little body more securely. Insert the nozzle of the syringe into the kitten's mouth from the side, where there are no teeth. To do this, you don't even need to open the animal's mouth - just unscrew the upper lip. Try not to scratch the mucous membrane.
Step 4
Smoothly press the syringe plunger to inject the medicine into the kitten's mouth. At one time, you can give about 2 ml of the drug. Make sure that the baby does not turn his head, and the emulsion does not pour out. Slightly squeeze the animal's jaws and lift its head. Wait for the kitten to swallow.
Step 5
If the medication spills out, try again. "Smecta" is non-toxic, and a small overdose will not harm the animal. After completing the procedure, release the kitten, give him the opportunity to wash. In the process, he licks the remains of the medicine from the wool.
Step 6
Repeat the procedure every two to three hours. It is advisable to combine treatment with a diet - do not give the kitten food for several hours, but do not limit it in drinking. Improvement usually occurs after 6-8 hours. If the diarrhea persists, see your veterinarian for another treatment.
