Our pets not only make us happy, but sometimes cause concern and anxiety. This can happen if the animal is sick, it needs to be treated, but you do not know how. A visit to the vet doesn't solve much. The doctor will make a diagnosis, prescribe a medicine, and you will be faced with an almost insoluble task - to persuade the cat to eat the pill.
It is necessary
- - cat
- - tablet
- - butter
- - assistant
- - towel or blanket
Instructions
Step 1
Approach the cat, pet it the way she loves it, say a couple of gentle words to her, pick her up. If you have experience feeding your cat a pill, and you know for sure that she will resist, try to limit her movements. This can be done by wrapping the animal in a blanket or thick towel. Pay special attention to the front paws, the cat will try to release them first.
Step 2
If your pet (or pet) reacts relatively calmly to actions performed with them, just place the cat on a smooth surface, which is perfect for a polished table surface or laminate flooring.
Step 3
Lubricate the tablet with butter or vegetable oil to make it more slippery.
Step 4
Sit on the floor, grab the animal by the withers, place it between your knees and lightly press it to the ground. Open yourself or ask the assistant to open the cat's mouth, pushing them apart, while the animal's head should be tilted back.
Step 5
Place the tablet on the root of the tongue and immediately close the mouth of the animal. Keeping your mouth closed, pet the cat's throat or blow lightly into the nose. After swallowing the pill, the cat will immediately lick its lips. This will serve as a signal that everything is done correctly, you can let the animal go free.
Step 6
If all else fails, the tablet will have to be crushed, mixed with yeast extract and lubricated on the pads of the cat. Natural cleanliness forces the cat to lick its paws and thus eat the medicine.
