Counting four legs and one mouth, cats have five effective weapons to counter your forced drug feeding!
But no matter how it fights with you, if in the end you win-which means you fed the pill and the nail clipper succeeded-psychologically, it will realize that all resistance is meaningless . And next time, it won't be as desperate as before. When you can win a few times, you will find that it slowly turns from reluctance to bearable, and finally to obedience.
Hand-feeding medicine (pills)
1. Find a large enough towel to wrap the cat from head to toe and hold the back of the neck to prevent the kitten from escaping and scratching people.
2. Divert TA’s attention. You can talk to TA first, touch TA, and then put the medicine into your mouth without paying attention.
3. Quickly close TA's mouth and gently stroke his throat. You can also blow lightly into TA's nostrils. As soon as TA licks his nose, he swallows the medicine.
4. Finally, observe for a few minutes to see if the medicine is actually eaten.
Syringe (powder, liquid)
1. Prepare a clean syringe with the needle removed.
2. Inhale the medicine to be fed into the syringe.
3. Fix the pet, hold the head of TA and tilt the head upward at a 45 degree angle. There is a gap between TA canines and molars to extend the syringe into the cavity.
4. Inject the medicine from this position into the mouth. The syringe should be pointed to the palate or tongue. Try to avoid the syringe directly facing the pet's throat. The injection speed should not be too fast to prevent choking when the liquid is injected. .
Note: Regardless of what kind of liquid or solid medicine is given to
, be sure to avoid quickly injecting the medicine directly against the throat, but if it is liquid, do not go too fast, as it may choke your pet , But don’t be too slow, maybe they taste the medicine and don’t want to continue.
cheat diet
1, mix medicine in snacks, mix in cans, mix in staple food, etc. In order to prevent him from tasting the medicine and stop taking it, he can be hungry for a meal before feeding.
2. Put the pills into food that can wrap the pills such as dried meat, bread, etc., first give the TA a few normal foods, and then secretly feed the food with the medicine to the TA. However, this method is more suitable for large pets over 10 kg, and pets under 10 kg are likely to choke.
3. Apply a delicious nutrient ointment to cover the smell of the medicine before feeding.
But in fact, cats generally have a sharp sense of smell and taste. This approach is generally difficult to succeed.
